What a local would tell you

The busiest ramp in New Hanover County. Trailer parking is the constraint, not the ramp — on a summer Saturday it is gone by 8am and you will be parking a long walk away.

The tide today

NOAA has not returned a prediction for station 8658145 right now, so there is no curve to draw. Nothing here is worth guessing at — check the station directly.

No reports here yet. If you run this spot, post what you see — fuel price, depth, how busy it is. Depths get corrected for the tide automatically, so the number you leave is worth something to the next boat.
