lol, My wife wanted a pet shortly after we got married. I gave in, and have been taking care of it ever since. Mental note: Put out 2 bowls of food before leaving for Wave Rave. (wife will not remember to feed the cat)

I made it up...looking at Lake Michigan forecasts from NOAA.NDBC.GOV and combining that with what www.weather.com says the weather and winds are doing...

basically, here is what the winds are doing. I am not an expert on Lake Michigan, but if it's anything like Erie, we should be rippin....What do you think...you probably know more than me.

Friday: Winds NW at 18mph gusting to 25mph
Sat: Winds NNW at 16mph gusting to 20mph
Sun: Winds NW at 12mph

Although they keep slightly changing every couple hours.....

Friday and Saturday will be good days!! Probably Friday being BIGGER waves!!

 

[Bruins]

DJ it sounds like your pretty close, but that area is pretty protected from NW winds. We can only hope for the best!

 

[djkorn1]

Yeah...hopefully they wrap around the point and separate. I certainly cannot imagine it being flat.

 

[cybermob2]

claybanks is favored most by SW to W winds, but if its ripping just ride up by the launch... many days its rippin at the launch just offshore, and yet claybanks is 1-2 chop.

meh... they don't have a clue until 20min after it happens anyway.

I have noticed a few pretty big rocks down by the launch that make me nervous. Last year as I was leaving I spent some time riding down there and they were breaking nicer than they were by Claybanks.
