Ocean Isle Beach is a public boat ramp in Brunswick County, North Carolina, on Intracoastal Waterway. From here SeaStatus scores 7 waters: Coastal waters from Cape Fear NC to Little River Inlet SC out 20 NM, Coastal waters from Little River Inlet to Murrells Inlet SC out 20 NM (Area 5 of 6), Coastal waters from Little River Inlet to Murrells Inlet SC out 20 NM (Area 4 of 6), Ocean Isle Boat Harbor, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 1 of 10), Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 6 of 6), and 1 more.
The main water here is Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 1 of 10). 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 41024, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8659665, Bowen Point, Shallotte Inlet, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
