open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
858 pm cdt tue aug 11 2026

for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake michigan.

waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which
is the average of the highest 1/3 of the wave, along with the
average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will
occasionally be encountered.

.synopsis...

light and variable winds are expected to continue through 
thursday as a stalled frontal boundary remains south of the lake 
bringing periodic shower and thunderstorm chances for southern 
portions of lake michigan along with patchy fog. influence from 
this front finally moves away from the region as high pressure 
around around 30.3 inches builds down across the great lakes 
region thursday night into friday. will see south to southeasterly
winds increase into the weekend as the high pressure slides east 
of the area while low pressure develops over the plains. expect 
this low pressure to track northeastward across the upper great 
lakes later saturday into sunday bringing shower and thunderstorm
chances to the lake. behind this departing low pressure, winds
shift to the northwest later sunday into early next week as
another high pressure builds down across the region.
