Waves
I use this site to get an idea. Keep in mind these seem to be open water estimates and I find near shore waves about 1 foot higher.

I use a app called buoy on the play store it is like a 1.99 but it will give u live feed back of both weather buoys in lake erie and wind speeds at marble head and southbass just remember whatever the buoy reads double it because the buoy only measures up.

Waves
2 feet or less could be glass calm, considering the "less" report. I have been anchored perching with the wind blowing from the east, flags on Kelly's Island blowing south, and flags dead calm when I get back to the dock. Open water measurements are always different that near shore ( five miles or less).
Buoys measure the height from a calm lake to the top of a wave. They do not measure the trough, hence double the number to get an idea of how much rock "n" roll is expected. For example, 2-4 foot waves will have a trough of about the same height so you will have a 4-8 foot distance from top of wave to bottom of trough.

TIN CAN, your comment about the affect of air temperature on wave height is very interesting, and one that I have experienced over the years, but care to explain further? Does it have to do with the density af the air exerting more force on the water surface, thuis causing larger wave heights?
