Venice Marina Boat Ramp Park / Gulf ICW Regional Boat Launch is a public boat ramp in Sarasota County, Florida, on Roberts Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Coastal waters from Englewood to Tarpon Springs FL out 20 NM (Area 15 of 16), Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 15 of 19), Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 16 of 19), Curry Creek and Venice Inlet.
The main water here is Coastal waters from Englewood to Tarpon Springs FL out 20 NM (Area 15 of 16). 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 42013, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8725889, Venice Inlet (inside), the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 3.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
