Port Sheldon Weather buoy

[Blackhawk]

Found a weather buoy straight out of port Sheldon yesterday. Anyone know if you can get info from it or what number it is. I tried looking it up but only find the Holland buoy. I had not heard there was one out there.

I believe that is the holland buoy. They decided to move it further north this year.

Here is the web site that has all the data from the Holland/Port Sheldon UGLOS buoy: http://uglos.mtu.edu/station_page.php?station=45029

Note: the location shown on the map is wrong.

Hah, everyone I know still thought it was in 80' off tunnel park. Sure enough, I just checked the gps mark and the numbers match. Very good to know, and handy for anyone heading out of Port Sheldon. If I remember correctly it is in 90'

Not only can you get the wave height, water temp and wind direction, you can get a close up of what the lake is doing. What an awesome tool for the trailer fleet.

I've been using this buoy for lake conditions this year. Another feature is if you are not around a computer and don't have a smartphone and want to know the details just send the text message 45029 (which is the buoy number) to the phone number 734-418-7299 and it will text you back in like 15 seconds with the current data from the buoy.

I have a smartphone and still tend to use the text feature because its faster.

Blackhawk they also have a bouy on Erie for your trip over there later this month.

I did see it on the Data portal. http://data.glos.us/portal/

It will make our decision making process much easier. We run 17' and 18' boats so lake conditions are very important to us.
