About West Penobscot Bay

West Penobscot Bay is a public boat ramp in Waldo County, Maine, on West Penobscot Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Ducktrap River and Penobscot Bay (Area 2 of 4).

The main water here is Penobscot Bay (Area 2 of 4). 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 44033, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8415191, Belfast, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.2 mi from this ramp.
