About Block Island Sound

Block Island Sound is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Rhode Island and Connecticut. SeaStatus lists 20 or more ramps that launch into it, the closest being Quonochontaug Breachway at 0.0 mi.

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 8459681, Southwest Point, Block Island, the closest one to here.
