Ramps that reach this water
Cape Fear Inlet is an inlet reached from boat ramps in North Carolina. SeaStatus lists 6 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Dutchman Creek Boat Ramp at 0.0 mi.
Inlets are scored on wind, waves and, more than on any other water, the tidal current: an ebb running against an onshore wind is what makes an inlet dangerous. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 41038, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8659084, Southport, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
