Manteo Waterfront Public Boat Ramp is a public boat ramp in Dare County, North Carolina, on Shallowbag Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Doughs Creek, Alligator River, Croatan and Roanoke Sounds, Albemarle Sound (Area 5 of 5) and S of Currituck Beach Light NC to Oregon Inlet NC out to 20 NM (Area 4 of 5).
The main water here is Doughs Creek. 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 8652226, Jennettes Pier, Nags Head (ocean), 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.
