Little Duck Key Wayside Park Public Boat Ramp is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida, on Florida Bay - Hawk Channel. From here SeaStatus scores 9 waters: Ohio Missouri Channel, Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 4 of 7), Gulf of America from West End of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to 5 Fathoms (Area 5 of 5), Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 7 of 7), Hawk Channel from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to the reef (Area 5 of 5), Straits of Florida from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to south of Halfmoon Shoal out 20 NM (Area 5 of 5), and 3 more.
The main water here is Bayside and Gulfside from Craig Key to West End of Seven Mile Bridge (Area 3 of 6). 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 8724093, Little Duck Key, east end, Hawk Channel, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 10.1 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
