Local Weather

Sources for Weather forecasts:

Approach and Navigation

High slack is the best time to enter, thereby avoiding most breakers and going aground in the river. The Coast Guard here are very helpful and willing to come out and guide you across the bar if you would like.

The fixed bridge has an 88' clearance. The Noyo River Basin marina is full of fishing boats, old, and poorly labeled, but a very scenic little haven in Fort Bragg. The Harbormaster does not monitor 16 regularly. It's best to call via cell or park temporarily and walk up. They are not available on the weekend.

Check-in facilities

Submit details about facilities for checking in - where to dock, location of immigration & customs, etc.
