Rookery Bay Primitive Boat Launch (Shell Island) is a public boat ramp in Collier County, Florida, on Rookery Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 19 of 19), Eagle Creek and Coastal waters from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach FL out 20 NM (Area 4 of 6).
The main water here is Coastal waters from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach FL out 20 NM (Area 4 of 6). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8725019, Keewaydin island (inside), the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
