About The Narrows

The Narrows is an inlet reached from boat ramps in New Jersey. SeaStatus lists 2 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Bayonne Municipal Launch at 3.4 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44065, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8519050, USCG Station NY, the closest one to here.
