open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
848 pm cdt mon sep 7 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...

high pressure around 30.2 inches will remain over the lower great
lakes through tuesday. meanwhile, low pressure around 29.6 inches
over the northern high plains will lift northward through the 
canadian prairies into tuesday morning. this will allow for 
gradually increasing southerly winds overnight through tuesday 
night, especially over the north half of the lake. 

as low pressure enters hudson bay late tuesday night and 
wednesday, winds shift southwesterly, then westerly on wednesday 
as a cold front pushes southeastward through the lake. winds 
become northwesterly behind the front, gradually weakening through
thursday and thursday night. winds shift to southerly again and 
increase into friday, as low pressure develops in the northern 
plains.
