9-Mile is a public boat ramp in Macomb County, Michigan, on Lake St. Clair. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Detroit River and Lake St. Clair Open Lake (U.S. Portion).
The main water here is Lake St. Clair Open Lake (U.S. Portion). Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 45147, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9034052. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 7.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
