Mackinaw City Municipal Marina is a public boat ramp in Cheboygan County, Michigan, on Straits of Mackinac. From here SeaStatus scores 6 waters: 5NM East of Mackinac Bridge to Presque Isle Light MI including Bois Blanc Island, Norwood MI to 5NM West of Mackinac Bridge including Little Traverse Bay, Seul Choix Point to 5NM West of Mackinac Bridge, St Ignace to False Detour Channel, Straits of Mackinac within 5 nm of Mackinac Bridge including Mackinac Island and Lake Huron from 5NM east of Mackinac Bridge to Presque Isle Lt to the US/Canadian border beyond 5 NM from shore (Area 1 of 8).
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 2.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
