Sams Point is a public boat ramp in Beaufort County, South Carolina, on Lucy Point Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Coosaw River and Coastal waters from Edisto Beach SC to Savannah GA out 20 NM (Area 4 of 8).
The main water here is Coosaw River. 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 41033, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8667733, Sams Point, Lucy Point Creek, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
