Nelson Road is a public boat ramp in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, on Coulee Hippolyte. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 4 of 12) and Calcasieu Lake.
The main water here is Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 4 of 12). The Intracoastal Waterway is protected water, so wave height is not part of its score. It is scored mostly on wind, since a long open reach can still build a chop, and on the current where tides run through. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8767961, Calcasieu Ship Channel, Bulk Terminal, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 10.9 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
