Ramps that reach this water
ICW — Cape Fear Section is a stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway reached from boat ramps in North Carolina. SeaStatus lists 5 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Snows Cut at 0.1 mi.
The Intracoastal Waterway is protected water, so wave height is not part of its score. It is scored mostly on wind, since a long open reach can still build a chop, and on the current where tides run through. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 41024, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8659182, Oak Island, Yaupon Beach, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
