Galveston Channel is a boat ramp in Galveston County, Texas, on Galveston Channel. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Galveston Bay (Area 12 of 13), Coast Guard Mooring Basin, Port of Galveston and Coastal waters from High Island to Freeport TX out 20 NM (Area 6 of 7).
The main water here is Galveston Bay (Area 12 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 42035, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8771450, GALVESTON, Galveston Channel, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
