About Stumpy Point

Stumpy Point is a public boat ramp in Dare County, North Carolina, on Stumpy Point Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Croatan and Roanoke Sounds and Pamlico Sound (Area 5 of 5).

The main water here is Pamlico Sound (Area 5 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 8652547, Roanoke Marshes Light, Croatan Sound, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 6.4 mi from this ramp.
