Staves Landing is a public boat ramp in New Castle County, Delaware, on Blackbird Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Hangmans Run, Appoquinimink River, Blackbird Creek, Delaware River (Segment 2 of 4) and Delaware Bay waters north of East Point NJ to Slaughter Beach DE (Area 3 of 15).
The main water here is Blackbird 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8553069, Taylors Bridge, Blackbird Creek, Del., the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.9 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
