Oyster Creek is a public boat ramp in Carteret County, North Carolina, on Core Sound. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Neuse and Bay Rivers, Pamlico Sound (Area 1 of 5), S of Ocracoke Inlet NC to Cape Lookout NC out to 20 NM (Area 1 of 3) and S of Cape Lookout NC to Surf City NC out to 20 NM (Area 5 of 5).
The main water here is S of Ocracoke Inlet NC to Cape Lookout NC out to 20 NM (Area 1 of 3). 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 8656201, Davis, Core Sound, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 7.6 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
