About Lake Ontario

Lake Ontario is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, New York, on Lake Ontario. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Niagara River to Hamlin Beach NY, Hamlin Beach to Sodus Bay NY, Niagara River to Hamlin Beach NY beyond 5NM off shoreline to US-Canadian border and Hamlin Beach to Sodus Bay NY beyond 5NM off shoreline to US-Canadian border (Area 1 of 2).

The main water here is Hamlin Beach to Sodus Bay NY. 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 45012, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9052058. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 21.4 mi from this ramp.
