About Highway 55 Canal

Highway 55 Canal is a public boat ramp in St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana, on South Pass Canal. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain (Area 2 of 13).

The main water here is Lake Pontchartrain (Area 2 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 8762372. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 3.1 mi from this ramp.
