About Tofte

Tofte 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 11 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 11.1 mi from this ramp.
