Field notes
The homepage describes selecting a lake and fishing area, then comparing conditions at different depths, including a water-column profile from surface to bottom. It names NOAA’s Great Lakes Operational Forecast System for temperature, thermocline, and currents, the NWS Great Lakes wave model, and NOAA buoy and shore-station readings. The stated views include a 48-hour forecast and 30-day history; the site cautions that model estimates are not for navigation.
