open lake forecast for lake superior...corrected
national weather service marquette mi
406 am edt sun oct 11 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 offshore of new 
england and a 29.6 inch low stretched out from northern mn through 
south dakota. through the daytime hours, the low splits and weakens 
into a pair of 29.7 inch lows, one that remains in the central 
plains and another that moves across northern ontario. this will 
drag a 29.8 inch low across lake superior tonight into monday 
morning as 30.3 inch high pressure expands across the ontario and 
manitoba shores of hudson bay. by monday night, the high will weaken 
to 30.2 inches over quebec as the plains low moves into the upper 
great lakes region at 29.7 inches. as the low escapes to new england 
tuesday into wednesday morning, a new 30.2 inch high forms over the 
dakotas, moving over lake superior at 30.3 inches wednesday night. 
thursday, the high shifts to the eastern great lakes as a 29.8 inch 
alberta clipper moves over lake winnipeg.
