Crystal Lake Yacht Club is a boat ramp in Benzie County, Michigan, on Crystal Lake. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Point Betsie to Sleeping Bear Point MI, Manistee to Point Betsie MI, Lake Michigan from Point Betsie to Manistee MI 5NM offshore to Mid Lake (Area 2 of 3) and Lake Michigan from Charlevoix to Point Betsie MI 5NM Offshore to mid lake (Area 2 of 4).
The main water here is Manistee to Point Betsie 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 9087023. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 11.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
