Important Weather Information
You will be paddling on a Great Lake
Our number one concern is to make sure you are safe when you paddle.
Weather and water temperature are two important factors we consider before renting kayaks. Just because it is a nice day does not mean we will be renting. We also have to consider the wind speed and direction.
The links at the top of this page include the weather information we use to determine if we are going to let customers rent. If wind speeds are over 10 mph we will not be renting most likely.
Before You Make the Trip to Port Austin
We have a lot of customers drive from far away to kayak with us. If the weather is questionable, please call before you make the drive up to see what we are thinking about current conditions.
We cannot always give you a definite answer. Weather changes over night and from hour to hour. We will do our best to give you an idea of the chances you will have of getting out and paddling. We hate disappointing people that drive from far away and find out they can't paddle.
Are we renting today?
Thu 9/10- We have whitecaps out in the lake here today, with winds picking up out of the NW as the morning goes on. We will not be renting kayaks today. Please call the shop if you had a reservation and we can assist in canceling with a full refund or rebooking to another day.
