Ramps that reach this water
Coastal waters from High Island to Freeport TX out 20 NM is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Texas. SeaStatus lists 17 ramps that launch into it, the closest being San Luis Pass County Park at 0.4 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 42035, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8771510, Galveston Pleasure Pier, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
