Advice for newbies

A group of us are coming up end of August, we have big water experience but Mille lacs size. Any advice for us as far as weather apps, what to make sure we have for safety, where to go if it’s too windy, etc. We’re fishing out of Long Point. Thanks in advance for any info.

Here is a great resource for the wind forecast. It will help you decide where you can go for the day.
