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

Alot of big ones out there yesterday.

Should see the shots of the people on the bike path in Chicago almost getting washed nto the lake.

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;

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

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!!

Those waves can look deceptively small when you're standing on shore----until you actually get out there! I've made that mistake a few times in past years with Lake Michigan.

Anyway, nice little spot you have on the lake there Pete! :)

NT water Bubba!!:party-smiley-004::evilb:

Awesome pic, if it was clearer. What kind of boat is that? Who else has big water pics? Michigan looks like a cool place to boat!

Looks photoshopped to me!

it was my NT, & yes, it's 4 fun!!!!!!:lolhit:

Your so picky! :lolhit::lolhit:

Shall I post what a non-PS picture looks like? :eek:



:party-smiley-004::lolhit:

NO !!!!!:eek:

Hiya Trace!!! That photo didn't look right to me either. Anyway, the light house kinda looks like the one at Mission Point on Grand Traverse Bay. You still boatless?

I guess that makes me living/boating on a pond compared:eek: hell the gulf only gets like that in Hurricanes:drink:

That would have to be the Ludington lighthouse....

I thinks it's Ludington but not 100 sure!!! Still grounded!!! few months 2 go!!! How ya do'n noise boy???

I'm another big fan of that porch. On a different day that looks like a heck of a place to drink beer.

KAAMA noisy? ppphhhttt

Apache Pete, I'm suprised living in Saugatuck you own an Apache??

Nice waves though!!

In Malta last year P1 raced on Saturday in 15-20s. They cancelled the Sunday race after forecasts predicted 25s. Lot of broken boats and people that day.
