Ramps that reach this water
Coastal waters from Fenwick Island DE to Chincoteague VA out 20 NM is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Maryland and Delaware and Virginia. SeaStatus lists 17 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Shell Mill Landing 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 8570691, Buntings Bridge, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
