Dempsey Wildlife Area is a public boat ramp in Ottawa County, Ohio. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Reno Beach to The Islands OH, Reno Beach to The Islands OH beyond 5NM off shoreline to US-Canadian border, The Islands to Vermilion OH beyond 5 nm off shoreline to US-Canadian border and The Islands to Vermilion OH.
The main water here is The Islands to Vermilion OH. 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 45203, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9063079. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 7.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
