About HIghway 73 Bridge

HIghway 73 Bridge is a public boat ramp in Jefferson County, Texas, on Taylor Bayou. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Taylor Bayou, Big Hill Bayou, Hillebrandt Bayou and Sabine Lake.

The main water here is Taylor 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 8770475, Port Arthur, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 37.2 mi from this ramp.
