North Marathon Shores Public Boat Ramp (Dodge Lake) is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida, on Florida Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Hawk Channel from Craig Key to west end of Seven Mile Bridge out to the reef, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 6 of 23), Key Vaca Cut, Bayside and Gulfside from Craig Key to West End of Seven Mile Bridge (Area 3 of 6) and Straits of Florida from Craig Key to west end of Seven Mile Bridge out 20 NM (Area 2 of 3).
The main water here is Bayside and Gulfside from Craig Key to West End of Seven Mile Bridge (Area 3 of 6). 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 8723950, Vaca Key-Fat Deer Key bridge, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
