Lake Erie’s calm shallow waters can get very rough, very quickly. Frequent weather changes make marine weather reports very much an educated guess. We advise caution with these forecasts and to pay close attention to VHF radio. We strongly urge that you review nautical charts when navigating in Lake Erie waters as there are an abundance of shallow reefs and sandbars.
