Key West - Port Area is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida, on Atlantic Ocean. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 6 of 7), Gulf of America from West End of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to 5 Fathoms (Area 1 of 5), Hawk Channel from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to the reef (Area 1 of 5), Straits of Florida from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to south of Halfmoon Shoal out 20 NM (Area 1 of 5) and Gulf of America from East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee 20 to 60 NM out and beyond 5 fathoms (Area 1 of 2).
The main water here is Hawk Channel from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to the reef (Area 1 of 5). 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 8724580, KEY WEST, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
