About West Bayou Lane

West Bayou Lane is a boat ramp in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, on Hermitage Bayou. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Barataria Bay (Area 7 of 10) and Breton Sound (Area 1 of 5).

The main water here is Barataria Bay (Area 7 of 10). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8761431, Rat Bayou, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 8.3 mi from this ramp.
