Freeman Creek Boat Launch is a public boat ramp in Onslow County, North Carolina, on Freeman Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: S of Cape Lookout NC to Surf City NC out to 20 NM (Area 3 of 5), Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 6 of 10) and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 5 of 10).
The main water here is S of Cape Lookout NC to Surf City NC out to 20 NM (Area 3 of 5). Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8657167, New River Inlet, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
