Bark Point is a public boat ramp in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, on Lake Superior. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Lake Superior west of a line from Saxon Harbor WI to Grand Portage MN beyond 5NM (Area 7 of 14) and Port Wing to Sand Island WI.
The main water here is Port Wing to Sand Island WI. 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 45219, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9099064. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
