The Gales of November Come Early!
🌊 Surf's Up On Lake Erie Today!
It sure feels like autumn has arrived on the Great Lakes — we're entering the time of year when stronger winds and bigger waves become much more common.
A steady, strong northeast wind will really churn up Lake Erie today. Waves of 5 to 8 feet are expected in the western basin, with a few occasionally approaching 10 feet!
That persistent northeast wind will also push water toward the western end of the lake, so keep an eye out for higher water along parts of the Lucas and Ottawa County shoreline.
Share with someone who loves to see the waves and an angry lake!
