How waves are estimated

Significant wave height from the forecast hourly wind and the open-water distance (fetch) upwind, using the SMB method (US Army Corps of Engineers Shore Protection Manual, 1984), rounded up to the next 0.1 m. It is not a measurement: gusts, leftover swell and shoals can make water rougher. Under 0.2 m: calm; 0.2–0.5 m: choppy; over 0.5 m: rough.

Depth

The government depth survey from 1965 records a maximum depth of 6.1 m, drawn from 8 depth contours.

Not for navigation. Depths are from government surveys and may be outdated.

Water

Clarity was measured with a Secchi disk in 21 years between 1997 and 2017; the latest annual mean is 4 m.
