About Crystal Lake

Crystal Lake is a public boat ramp in Oceana County, Michigan, on Crystal Lake. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Pentwater to Manistee MI and Whitehall to Pentwater MI.

The main water here is Whitehall to Pentwater MI. 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 45024, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9087023. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 8.8 mi from this ramp.
