From Meteorologist Ross Ellet -

Waves are expected to be larger on Lake Superior this Monday than what took down the Edmund Fitzgerald a little over 50 years ago! Monster waves are likely on all 5 of the Great Lakes. The latest marine forecast from the National Weather Service shows wave heights topping 20 feet on all 5 lakes. Waves are expected to reach 34 feet on Lake Superior, 30 feet on Lake Michigan, 28 feet on Lake Huron, and 24 feet on Lake Erie on Monday. I think it is very possible the Lake Erie forecast may be too conservative based on the overnight weather maps. Severe freezing spray is also likely on most of the Great Lakes. If you plan on watching the waves crash onto shore, make sure to keep a safe distance away!

May try to go watch them.
Pictures if I do.
Sometimes they close the costal access roads.
Lighthouse at SouthHaven is 35ft above the walkway.
I think.

I may have to bust out the kayak and try to get some good pictures on Superior.


I have nothing clever to put here.

That would be cool to see. I wouldn’t want to be on the water in those conditions though.


Eh...wot?

Kzoo, I believe your right about Lake Erie. A long semi shallow lake. The waves down at the east end of that lake will be horrendous to see. I'm going to have to dial in on some of the different lake cams to watch. Duluth harbor cams would be one of them.

Those waves will be crashing into the shores where I live on lake Erie. Some of my friends houses are likely to get incased in ice. Many lake side roads will be closed.
