Gifford Street is a public boat ramp in Bristol County, Massachusetts, on New Bedford Harbor. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Buzzards Bay and Rhode Island Sound (Area 9 of 10).
The main water here is Buzzards Bay. 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 44020, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8447636, New Bedford Harbor, Marine Terminal, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 6.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
