About Shanks Creek

Shanks Creek is a river reached from boat ramps in Maryland. SeaStatus lists 2 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Tylerton County Wharf at 1.0 mi.

Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44042, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8571117, Ewell, Smith Island, the closest one to here.
