Melton Nelson Park and Boat Ramp is a public boat ramp in Nassau County, Florida, on Lofton Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Coastal waters from Fernandina Beach to St. Augustine FL out 20 NM (Area 5 of 10) and Coastal waters from Altamaha Sound to Fernandina Beach FL out 20 NM (Area 2 of 3).
The main water here is Coastal waters from Fernandina Beach to St. Augustine FL out 20 NM (Area 5 of 10). 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 8720059, Vaughns Landing, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
