I know there are alot of ocean guys that see this frequently, but it does not happen very often in the summer on Lake Michigan. 10-14 footers... Looks like I may do some maintenance this weekend.. http://www.wunderground.com/MAR/LM/046.html |

Yeah, we are in petosky marina, the boatis bouncing all over the place. Most everyone is double lined. Crazy! On top of it we have gotten between 5 and 6 inches of rain at home! I hope my sump pump holds out. Sunday is our travel day to traverse city, then trailer home Monday. Fingers crossed! |

Now it's over 11 feet! I'm glad I decided to move the boat from Traverse to Charlevoix(where the trailer is) last Saturday. The weather has sucked ever since. |

We went from clinch (traverse city) on Monday around 10:30am to Charlevoix, it was fine until we cleared the Lelanau peninsula, then it was 3-4's with the roug mixed in. They were hitting us starboard. I was really happy to be in round lake! I'll take another week off from work to not do that again. |

Mostly 2-3 footers with some 5-6 footers that come out of nowhere. Seems to always be the worst right at the mouth of the bay. I learned that I need to bungee my anchor down along with my toilet lid.

That is unusual even in this area, LI Sound at times has had 8-9 ft waves, but only during a tropical storm or hurricane conditions.....Last year during TS Irene we had winds of 55-60 mph on the Sound and the highest waves I recall being recorded were 9 ft. Tides here were about 5 feet above normal. The lifeguard chair at the beach behind my house (which normally is about 20 yards from the high tide mark) had about 4' of water around it.. |
