Lake Ontario, Also Known as Lake America

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A live conditions hub for Lake Ontario—called “Lake America” in a stated US federal naming order—with water temperature, lake level, waves, wind, and seasonal ice data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The site combines several public data streams rather than presenting a single forecast: buoy 45012 supplies water-temperature and wave information, NOAA CO-OPS supplies a 30-day level trend on the IGLD85 datum, and NWS Buffalo supplies open-lake forecast material. Its marine method notes that api.weather.gov lacks a direct marine-zone endpoint, so wind and weather use the nearest onshore grid forecast. The project identifies itself as independently built and maintained by one person.
