Winter Island Park (Waikiki Beach) is a public boat ramp in Essex County, Massachusetts, on Salem Harbor. From here SeaStatus scores 7 waters: Bass River, Boston Harbor, Danvers River, Marblehead Harbor, North River, South River, and 1 more.
The main water here is Massachusetts Bay and Ipswich Bay (Area 4 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 44013, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8442645, Salem, Salem Harbor, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 14.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
