Prairie Springs Park is a public boat ramp in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, on Lake Andrea. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Winthrop Harbor to Wilmette Harbor IL, Wind Point WI to Winthrop Harbor IL and Lake Michigan from Wind Point WI to Winthrop Harbor IL 5NM offshore to Mid Lake (Area 1 of 4).
The main water here is Wind Point WI to Winthrop Harbor IL. 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 45187, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9087057. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 10.8 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
