Ramps that reach this water
Hell Gate is an inlet reached from boat ramps in New Jersey. SeaStatus lists one ramp that launches into it, the closest being Hazzard's Ramp/Palisades Interstate Park, Englewood Cliffs at 4.8 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8517401, Hell Gate, Wards Island, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
