The manner in which I pull data has been retired as of 2/23. I need to refactor some code but should be up and running in another day or two. Tabular forecasts will return
My Apologies for the inconvenience.
Week of 2/22 - 2/28
For everyone else, Tuesday is looking fun, though it’s an east swell, meaning you’re going to want to find a sandbar that can handle the swell direction.
Following Tuesday’s swell, it looks like another low pressure system moves across the Great Lakes setting up a fun, prefrontal south swell for Wednesday afternoon and possible leftovers on Thursday AM.
Great week of surf here. Let’s hope we get the least amount of snow possible.

There’s still some energy left on the buoy but I’m not seeing much out there this morning. Long lulls with the occasional stomach high wave. Larger further south. It’s going to fade fast.
The early AM low tide is pretty ideal though. We have a nice window mid-morning and possibly a window in the afternoon if the swell holds out.
Notes: Swell will fade quickly. This table is likely to change for a number of reasons.
Best board: TBD
Wednesday 2/25
Swell should arrive sometime around mid-day with best conditions in the late afternoon - right up until last light. Wind remains moderately strong but should be side-offshore (SSW). If you have a light afternoon it’ll be worth a look.
Thursday 2/26
Clean to glassy conditions with light offshore wind to start day. Swell is around 3.5ft@9s early. I’m expecting waist-stomach high surf for the AM which fades throughout the day.
Friday 2/27
I’m still hopeful we see something around this time, but model outputs have changed for the worse. Check back later.
