Northport Boatyard is a boat ramp in Leelanau County, Michigan, on Grand Traverse Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Grand Traverse Bay south of a line Grand Traverse Light to Norwood MI, Norwood MI to 5NM West of Mackinac Bridge including Little Traverse Bay, Sleeping Bear Point to Grand Traverse Light MI and Lake Michigan from Charlevoix to Point Betsie MI 5NM Offshore to mid lake (Area 3 of 4).
The main water here is Grand Traverse Bay south of a line Grand Traverse Light to Norwood 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. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 10.6 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
