Joppa Park is a public boat ramp in Essex County, Massachusetts, on Merrimack River. From here SeaStatus scores 13 waters: Back River, Plum Bush Creek, Town Creek, Merrimack River (Segment 4 of 6), Merrimack River (Segment 5 of 6), Merrimack River (Segment 2 of 6), and 7 more.
The main water here is Coastal Waters from Cape Elizabeth, ME to Merrimack River, MA out 25 NM (Area 4 of 12). 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 44074, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8440466, Newburyport, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
