Stock Island Wayside Park Public Boat Ramp (Mile Marker 5) is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida, on Boca Chica Channel. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Gulf of America from West End of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to 5 Fathoms (Area 1 of 5), Hawk Channel from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to the reef (Area 1 of 5) and Straits of Florida from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to south of Halfmoon Shoal out 20 NM (Area 1 of 5).
The main water here is Hawk Channel from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to the reef (Area 1 of 5). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8724517, Key Haven - Stock Island Channel, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
