I use Erie west Bouy computer Forcast on I Windsurf for the western basin and even east of kellies.I will use the Windsurf map of wind if Forcast on the edge of a go or no go.Especially if a north or east wind.The map can show how far the wind projects along the whole lake or not.That can make a difference on size of waves by time they reach western side of lake.I don't look at any NOAA info for years.Its worthless.
