Lake Merritt Boating Center is a public boat ramp in Alameda County, California, on Lake Merit. From here SeaStatus scores 6 waters: Oakland Inner Harbor, San Francisco Bay South of the Bay Bridge, Tidal Canal, San Pablo Bay, Suisun Bay, the West Delta and the San Francisco Bay north of the Bay Bridge, Oakland Estuary and Lake Merritt-Oakland Estuary Channel.
The main water here is Lake Merritt-Oakland Estuary Channel. 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 9414764, Oakland Inner Harbor, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.8 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
