Hither Creek is a public boat ramp in Nantucket County, Massachusetts, on Hither Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Hither Creek, Clark Cove, Hummock River, Nantucket Sound (Area 8 of 9) and Coastal Waters extending out to 25 NM South of Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket (Area 3 of 3).
The main water here is Nantucket Sound (Area 8 of 9). 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 8449062, Eel Point, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
