W. P. Franklin Lock and Dam South is a public boat ramp in Lee County, Florida, on Caloosahatchee River. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Caloosahatchee River (Segment 5 of 5), Caloosahatchee River (Segment 4 of 5), Caloosahatchee River (Segment 3 of 5) and Caloosahatchee River (Segment 1 of 5).
The main water here is Caloosahatchee River (Segment 5 of 5). 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 8725520, Fort Myers, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 12.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
