open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
404 am edt fri may 22 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... 

remnant high pressure ridging of 30.3 to 30.4 inches remains over 
lake superior today as the parent high shifts east into new england 
and quebec. meanwhile, a 29.8 inch low develops over the southern 
plains and lifts toward the lower great lakes. simultaneously, 
another 29.7 inch low lifts over the northern plains towards angle 
inlet. the lows gradually weaken to around 29.9 inches as they lift 
over southern ontario and eastern manitoba saturday into sunday, 
respectively. in response to these lows, weak troughing of around 
30.0 inches passes northward over lake superior saturday night into 
sunday night, before ridging of around 30.0 inches returns on 
monday. behind this, expect weak troughing of around 29.9 inches to 
return to the lake by tuesday morning.
