Lake Michigan Yesterday
Apache Weather!
Waves 24' at the buoy, 15' here in Saugatuck. No sign of WarHawk or AllezVite, though.

That was a nice video of the waves rolling in and what a great looking deck to watch the Lake Michigan from.
Thanks for Posting

15' waves? Those on your shoreline looked to be 4-5' max what kind of measuring stick are you guys using down there I could see there being larger ones out in open deeper water.. but those are not even close to 15s near shore

Open water buoys had waves as high as 30" in sections of the lake.

Type in "23 foot wave" in the search box, and then "GO"
Note especially the NOAA graphic, showing the wave heights east of the buoy measuring 23' are even greater.
Sorry my movie didn't adequately capture the true height, as there are no reference points.
The deck I'm on is 60' above the water level.
I've raced in true 5-6 footers in Lake Michingan, Coco Beach and Key West, and I'm positive that what I filmed was MUCH larger. There's no way in hell I would have attempted boating that day . . . in any size boat.

Every year I ride my Jet skis (not the lake lice annoying type) on lake michigan. Fun to jump 6 to 8 ft waves which happens often. Once in a while we ride in 12-15ft and they are to fat at the base to even jump. Even out by the sleeping bear sand dunes where the dunes are over 400ft tall, when between the waves I can not even see land!!
