Lancaster Lake is a public boat ramp in Cheboygan County, Michigan, on Lancaster Lake. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Straits of Mackinac within 5 nm of Mackinac Bridge including Mackinac Island and 5NM East of Mackinac Bridge to Presque Isle Light MI including Bois Blanc Island.
The main water here is Straits of Mackinac within 5 nm of Mackinac Bridge including Mackinac Island. 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 45175, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9075080. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 13.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
