Shelter Creek is a public boat ramp in Pender County, North Carolina, on Holly Shelter Creek. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Northeast Cape Fear River (Segment 1 of 3).
The main water here is Northeast Cape Fear River (Segment 1 of 3). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station TEC2863, Castle Hayne, Northeast River, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
