Windmill Point, MI tide questions
- Why is there no tide table for Windmill Point, MI?
- Windmill Point, MI is a Great Lakes station. Lake water levels are driven by wind, barometric pressure, and seasonal supply rather than astronomical tides, so NOAA publishes observed water levels here instead of tide predictions. Perigee charts those six-minute observations live.
- What moves the water level at Windmill Point, MI?
- Short-term changes at Windmill Point, MI come mostly from wind setup and seiches (basin-wide oscillations after storms), while seasonal rise and fall follows rain, snowmelt, and evaporation across the lake basin.
