About Island Creek

Island Creek is a public boat ramp in Dorchester County, Maryland, on Island Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Pokata Creek, Tangier Sound and the inland waters surrounding Bloodsworth Island, Indian Creek and Irish Creek.

The main water here is Indian Creek. 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44063, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8571559, McCready's Creek, Fishing Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 47.4 mi from this ramp.
