Taconite Safe Harbor is a public boat ramp in Cook County, Minnesota, on Lake Superior. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Taconite Harbor to Silver Bay Harbor MN, Grand Marais to Taconite Harbor MN and Lake Superior west of a line from Saxon Harbor WI to Grand Portage MN beyond 5NM (Area 9 of 14).
The main water here is Grand Marais to Taconite Harbor MN. 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 9099090. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 16.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
