I've looked - but can't seem to find, Chicago/NW Indiana marine weather reports on the WWW. I'm sure that I am not the only peson that tries to check the weather boating conditions BEFORE driving down to the marina, ramp, etc.

JSYK in case you dont.. On Our Portion of Lake Michigan ( west of the Indiana state line) Winds coming out of the N NE NW can make for some exciting sailing.. At Best.. Not often during our sailing season but they can make it IMHO Dangerous. There is good Reason Why They Call It The Inland Sea.. If your traveling up and down the coast, Marina Hopping? Fog can be an issue as well ....a Big Issue..

I always thought NOAA did a good job.

Just click on the map, and presto, a weather report.

Here's another nice site that I use. You can get both wind information as well as detailed marine forecasts as well as weather warnings for your selected area.

My wife's employer has a little website that may help: www.noaa.gov (or weather.gov)

Enter a zip code close by and then select an area over water and the forcast will change to a marine forcast.
