About Hammock

Hammock is a public boat ramp in Accomack County, Virginia, on Messongo Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Chesapeake Bay from Smith Point to Windmill Point VA (Area 4 of 6) and Coastal waters from Chincoteague to Parramore Island VA out 20 NM (Area 1 of 5).

The main water here is Chesapeake Bay from Smith Point to Windmill Point VA (Area 4 of 6). 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 8633777, Saxis, Starling Creek, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 9.1 mi from this ramp.
