South Cove Harbor is a public boat ramp in Petersburg Borough, Alaska, on Pacific Ocean - Wrangell Narrows. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Frederick Sound (Area 2 of 2) and Sumner Strait.
The main water here is Frederick Sound (Area 2 of 2). 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. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 19.6 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
