Galveston Bay is a public boat ramp in Galveston County, Texas, on JonesBay. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 2 of 21), Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 3 of 21), Galveston Bay (Area 8 of 13) and Coastal waters from High Island to Freeport TX out 20 NM (Area 3 of 7).
The main water here is Galveston Bay (Area 8 of 13). 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 8771486, GALVESTON RAILROAD BRIDGE, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
