Loch Raven Fishing Center is a public boat ramp in Baltimore County, Maryland, on Loch Raven Reservoir. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Gunpowder Falls (Segment 1 of 2) and Fitzhugh Run.
The main water here is Fitzhugh Run. 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 44080, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8574680, Baltimore, Fort McHenry, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
