Monte Rio is a public boat ramp in Sonoma County, California, on Russian River. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Austin Creek, Smith Creek, Russian River (Segment 5 of 5), Russian River (Segment 4 of 5) and Coastal Waters from Point Arena to Point Reyes California out to 10 nm (Area 2 of 3).
The main water here is Austin 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46013, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9415625, Bodega Harbor entrance, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 6.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
