New Weather Buoy in Western Lake Erie (Monroe/Toledo)

We just put out a new weather buoy as part of a special study this year. The buoy is located about 6 miles southeast of Monroe just north of the Toledo Harbor nav channel across the Ohio state line on the southeast corner of the open lake disposal zone (marked on the NOAA charts)


Data from the buoy is available at the link below and is updated every 10 minutes.

The buoy also has a security/web camera on it to transmit images and video clips every 30 min. Here's a link to the images/video.

Please DO NOT tie up to the buoy. It is not that forgiving and it is also illegal! Please don't hesitate to email me at everhamme at limno.com for more information on the buoy and to report any issues.

I'm a walleye fishermen myself and I know how valuable the data will be coming from this buoy for area fishermen.
