About Big Lake North

Big Lake North is a public boat ramp in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska, on Big Lake. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Cook Inlet North Kalgin Island (Area 4 of 5).

The main water here is Cook Inlet North Kalgin Island (Area 4 of 5). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 9455963, Goose Creek, Knik Arm, Cook Inlet, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 8.0 mi from this ramp.
