About Lake Pontchartrain

Lake Pontchartrain is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Louisiana. SeaStatus lists 20 or more ramps that launch into it, the closest being Seabrook 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 8761678, Michoud Substation, ICWW, the closest one to here.
