Smithville is a public boat ramp in Dorchester County, Maryland, on Beaverdam Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 11 waters: Dunnock Island Creek, Great Marsh Creek, Shenton Creek, Blackwater River (Segment 1 of 2), Parsons Creek, Slaughter Creek, and 5 more.
The main water here is Slaughter Creek. 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 44062, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8571702, Smithville Road Bridge, Beaverdam Creek, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
