Sunset Beach is a public boat ramp in Brunswick County, North Carolina, on Intracoastal Waterway. From here SeaStatus scores 9 waters: Coastal waters from Cape Fear NC to Little River Inlet SC out 20 NM, Coastal waters from Little River Inlet to Murrells Inlet SC out 20 NM (Area 5 of 6), Coastal waters from Little River Inlet to Murrells Inlet SC out 20 NM (Area 4 of 6), Calabash River, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 1 of 10), East River, and 3 more.
The main water here is Coastal waters from Cape Fear NC to Little River Inlet SC out 20 NM. 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 41024, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8659899, Sunset Beach Bridge, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 26.1 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
