Madison is a public boat ramp in Dorchester County, Maryland, on Madison Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 8 waters: Corsey Creek, Parsons Creek, Woolford Creek, Fishing Creek, Little Choptank River, Tangier Sound and the inland waters surrounding Bloodsworth Island, and 2 more.
The main water here is Choptank River to Cambridge MD and the Little Choptank River. 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 44062, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8571807, Woolford, Church Creek, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 8.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
