Anyone know of a good Surfing or Bodyboarding place on Lake Superior or Lake Michigan?

Question

Looking to find a good break by the south shore of Lake Superior or near Duluth, MN. Even the west side of Lake Michigan is ok.

Answer 1

no sorry but i do know you will be needing a wetsuit

Answer 2

There are many good spots on both lakes, depending on how far you want to drive.  Although the best time is in the Fall and Winter, there is still surfing to be had during the summer.  It seems that the northern shore of Lake Michigan has the best surfing during the summer as you see more S/SW winds this time of year.  There are a few spots around Manistique, MI that work well on a S/SW swell.  Marquette, MI and surrounding area has good surfing in the Fall and Winter when Northerly winds are more prevalent.  Check the NOAA nearshore forecasts on the web for Duluth, Marquette, or Milwaukee.  They can usually forecast accurate waves a couple days in advance.  Also, the forum on Third Coast Surf Shop's website is helpful.
