About Megansett Beach

Megansett Beach is a public boat ramp in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, on Megansett Harbor. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Vineyard Sound, Wild Harbor, Buzzards Bay and Nantucket Sound (Area 4 of 9).

The main water here is Buzzards Bay. 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44020, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8447685, Chappaquoit Point, West Falmouth Harbor, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 11.3 mi from this ramp.
