How to Access and Use the NOAA Buoy Data for Lake Conditions

[Chuck Smth]

The big question always is, "How rough is it out on the lake?"

 

Good news is that you can get real time wind and wave information from your computer or phone.  I put this quick tutorial together to show you how. 

 

You old-timers can add in any other tips on how to use them.  You can also get historical data which is what I used to do the 2020/2021 wind comparison.

 

Hope this is helpful for those who don't already use this data.
