About Portage Bay State Campground

Portage Bay State Campground is a public boat ramp in Delta County, Michigan, on Lake Michigan. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Seul Choix Point to Point Detour MI, 5NM East of a line from Fairport MI to Rock Island Passage, Green Bay North of line from Cedar River MI to Rock Island Passage (Area 6 of 7) and Lake Michigan from Seul Choix Point to Rock Island Passage 5NM offshore to Mid Lake (Area 2 of 3).

The main water here is Seul Choix Point to Point Detour 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 9087096. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 13.5 mi from this ramp.
