About Cape Fear River

Cape Fear River is a river reached from boat ramps in North Carolina. SeaStatus lists 7 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Dram Tree Park (Castle Street) at 0.2 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 41038, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8658120, Wilmington, the closest one to here.
