About Bender Park

Bender Park is a public boat ramp in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, on Lake Michigan. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Wind Point WI to Winthrop Harbor IL, North Point Light to Wind Point WI and Lake Michigan from North Point Light to Wind Point WI 5NM offshore to Mid Lake (Area 2 of 3).

The main water here is North Point Light to Wind Point 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 45013, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9087057. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.2 mi from this ramp.
