About Metts Bluff - Eglin Air Force Base

Metts Bluff - Eglin Air Force Base is a public boat ramp in Okaloosa County, Florida, on Yellow River. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Yellow River (Segment 2 of 3).

The main water here is Yellow River (Segment 2 of 3). 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 8729742, Bay Point, Blackwater River, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.4 mi from this ramp.
