Sutton Lake is a public boat ramp in New Hanover County, North Carolina, on Catfish Creek (Sutton Lake). From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Cape Fear River (Segment 2 of 3), Cape Fear River (Segment 1 of 3) and Northeast Cape Fear River (Segment 3 of 3).
The main water here is Cape Fear River (Segment 2 of 3). 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 41038, and tide predictions come from NOAA station TEC2863, Castle Hayne, Northeast River, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.8 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
