Sorry to anybody that gets damage in the Florida Keys from the hurricane, but . . .

THIS COULD BE PERFECT FOR LAKE MICHIGAN and WAVE RAVE :bananajump::bananajump::bananajump:

I just left So Florida yesterday morning. This is not a real storm, there will be no damage, it's all just media hype as usual!!:slap:

As of now I see a forecast of 3 - 5 footers, but it's still a ways out. We'll have to wait and see.

3-5s would be perfect!

Saturday: Winds SW at 14mph
Sunday: Winds NW at 13mph

I don't know much about the conditions on Lake Michigan...but considering this is on the East Coast, it looks like killer waves! :party:

i've had the best luck with

good old NWS (http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=GRR&llon=-86.824589&rlon=-86.244589&tlat=43.880416&blat=43.300416&smap=1&marine=1&mp=1&map.x=136&map.y=148)

the point forecast seems to take into account shore orientation into the wave forecast.

on the optimistic side, a SW wind is the most favorable wind direction where we will be riding. waves have the most lengthy area to build up and they come in nearly perpendicular to the shore.
