Ramps that reach this water
Smith Slough is an inlet reached from boat ramps in California. SeaStatus lists 5 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Docktown Marina at 0.4 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 9414511, Smith Slough, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
