Islamorada - East Ridge Road Public Boat Ramp is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida, on Atlantic Ocean. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Florida Bay including Barnes Sound, Blackwater Sound, and Buttonwood Sound (Area 4 of 7), Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 9 of 23), Straits of Florida from Ocean Reef to Craig Key out 20 NM (Area 2 of 4) and Hawk Channel from Ocean Reef to Craig Key out to the reef.
The main water here is Hawk Channel from Ocean Reef to Craig Key out to the reef. 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 8723776, Yacht Harbor, Cowpens Anchorage, Plantation Key, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 11.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
