Ramps that reach this water
S of Oregon Inlet NC to Cape Hatteras NC out to 20 NM is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in North Carolina. SeaStatus lists 3 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Hatteras Boatyard at 2.2 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 8653215, Rodanthe, Pamlico Sound, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
