Wellfleet Town Pier is a public boat ramp in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, on Wellfleet Harbor. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Herring River, Mill Creek, Cape Cod Bay (Area 9 of 11) and Coastal waters from Provincetown MA to Chatham MA to Nantucket MA out 20 NM (Area 3 of 4).
The main water here is Cape Cod Bay (Area 9 of 11). 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 44020, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8446613, Wellfleet, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 15.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
