About Public on Whale Creek

Public on Whale Creek is a public boat ramp in Cape May County, New Jersey, on Whale Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Coastal waters from Little Egg Inlet to Great Egg Inlet NJ out 20 NM (Area 2 of 8) and Coastal waters from Great Egg Inlet to Cape May NJ out 20 NM (Area 3 of 5).

The main water here is Coastal waters from Great Egg Inlet to Cape May NJ out 20 NM (Area 3 of 5). 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.
