Ramps that reach this water
Baines Creek is a river reached from boat ramps in Virginia. SeaStatus lists one ramp that launches into it, the closest being City Park at 0.3 mi.
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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44072, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8638339, Western Branch, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
