Grand Marais is a public boat ramp in Alger County, Michigan, on Lake Superior. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Munising to Grand Marais MI, Grand Marais to Whitefish Point MI, Lake Superior from Grand Marais MI to Whitefish Point MI 5NM off shore to the US/Canadian border (Area 1 of 3) and Lake Superior East of a line from Manitou Island to Marquette MI and West of a line from Grand Marais MI to the US/Canadian Border Beyond 5NM from shore (Area 2 of 2).
The main water here is Grand Marais to Whitefish Point 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 9099004. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 26.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
