Pacific Union College, Albion Field Station is a boat ramp in Mendocino County, California, on Albion River. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Navarro River and Coastal waters from Cape Mendocino to Pt. Arena CA out 10 nm (Area 3 of 4).
The main water here is Coastal waters from Cape Mendocino to Pt. Arena CA out 10 nm (Area 3 of 4). 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46014, and tide predictions come from NOAA station TWC0777, Mendocino, Mendocino Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
