Ramps that reach this water
Coastal Waters from Port Fourchon LA to Lower Atchafalaya River LA out 20 nm is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Louisiana. SeaStatus lists 20 or more ramps that launch into it, the closest being Irvin P. Melacon at 1.1 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 8763206, Caillou Boca, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
