waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which

average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will

.synopsis...

weak low pressure around 29.8 inches will move northeast across
manitoba overnight into sunday. this will pull a weak cold front 
eastward across lake michigan early sunday morning and exit by 
late morning. gusty east winds over far northern portions of the
lake should weaken overnight into sunday morning, with light south
winds elsewhere. south winds should then develop later sunday 
into sunday night.

some fog is expected to develop across the lake overnight into 
sunday morning. will monitor trends for dense fog development. it 
may linger further into sunday and sunday night, as milder air 
moves over and remains over the cooler lake waters.

going into early next week, a broad ridge of high pressure around
30.2 inches is expected to set up over the eastern great lakes, 
ushering in more south to southwest winds across lake michigan. 
a cold front may shift southward across the lake toward the 
middle of next week, as high pressure around 30.3 inches builds
into james bay.

great lakes as the low retreats to alberta. monday night, a 29.8 
inch trough will be over northern ontario, extending 29.9 inch 
troughing over the lake. by tuesday night, a 30.2 inch high over the 
western shores of hudson bay will extend weak ridging over lake

open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
1000 pm edt sat may 23 2026

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 30.5 inch high centered over 
eastern quebec and a pair of 29.9 inch lows, one over northern ohio 
and one over northern minnesota. into the evening, the lows weaken 
to remnant 30.0 inch troughs over the upper great lakes while the 
high shifts over nova scotia. sunday, lake superior will be between 
the high, now off the canada coast, and broad 29.6 inch low pressure 
over saskatchewan. a 30.1 inch ridge forms monday over the lower 
great lakes as the low retreats to alberta. monday night, a 29.8 
inch trough will be over northern ontario, extending 29.9 inch 
troughing over the lake. by tuesday night, a 30.2 inch high over the 
western shores of hudson bay will extend weak ridging over lake 
superior with 29.4 inch troughing forming in the lee of the northern 
us rockies. pressure rises over the lake as the high shifts 
southeast over northern ontario while low pressure over the west 
weakens on wednesday.
