Highway 146 Bridge is a public boat ramp in Galveston County, Texas, on Dickinson Bayou. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Gum Bayou, Galveston Bay (Area 9 of 13), Factory Bayou, Salt Bayou and Dickinson Bayou (Segment 2 of 2).
The main water here is Gum Bayou. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8771013, Eagle Point, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.6 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
