About Pier Point

Pier Point is a public boat ramp in Charleston County, South Carolina, on Ashley River. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Charleston Harbor, Ashley River (Segment 1 of 2) and Ashley River (Segment 2 of 2).

The main water here is Ashley River (Segment 2 of 2). 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 41029, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8665002, Drayton, Bee's Ferry, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.5 mi from this ramp.
