for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on lake superior.

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the
highest 1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the
average of the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.synopsis...

lake superior is currently between a 30.7 inch high over quebec and 
a 29.5 inch low over eastern colorado. as the high continues to 
shift east, the low will elongate across the mississippi river 
valley friday night at 29.6 inches. the low then deepens to 29.4 
inches over the ontario/quebec line late saturday morning. as the 
low further deepens to 29.2 inches over quebec saturday evening, a 
30.1 inch high over the central to southern plains will project a 
weak 29.8 inch ridge over the lake. this ridge is kicked east by a 
29.1 inch low that transits northern ontario sunday, reaching 
northwest quebec overnight into monday as a secondary low pressure 
trails behind near the northern shores of lake superior. the low 
slowly exits the area monday before being replaced by a 30.3 inch 
high over northern ontario tuesday. the high slowly moves into 
quebec wednesday.
