Pillar Point is a public boat ramp in San Mateo County, California, on Pillar Point Harbor. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: San Francisco Bay South of the Bay Bridge and Coastal Waters from Point Reyes to Pigeon Point California out to 10 nm (Area 7 of 10).
The main water here is Coastal Waters from Point Reyes to Pigeon Point California out to 10 nm (Area 7 of 10). 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 46026, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9414131, Pillar Point Harbor, Half Moon Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
