Petaluma River Public Fishing Access (Black Point) is a public boat ramp in Marin County, California, on Petaluma River. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Novato Creek, Petaluma River, San Pablo Bay, Suisun Bay, the West Delta and the San Francisco Bay north of the Bay Bridge and San Pablo Bay.
The main water here is Novato Creek. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46026, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9415252, Petaluma River entrance, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 3.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
