Tarpon Bend Drive is a public boat ramp in Cameron County, Texas, on Rio Grande. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Río Bravo / Rio Grande (Segment 2 of 2), Laguna Madre From the Port Of Brownsville to the Arroyo Colorado, Coastal waters from Port Mansfield TX to the Rio Grande River out 20 NM (Area 2 of 3) and W Central Gulf of America from 22N to 26N W of 94W (Area 1 of 2).
The main water here is Río Bravo / Rio Grande (Segment 2 of 2). 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 8779911, San Martin Lake Channel, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 3.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
