Surfing lake michagain?

Question

I know it is kinda sad I am open to harrassing comments... but is there any good surf on lake michigain

Answer 1

well sometimes odds are not in your favor

Answer 2

Sorry, but it does not work real well.  Water temperature is only above 60F or 15C for a short time in the summer.  The biggest waves are in the winter when the lake is nearly frozen.

There is a group in Sheboygan that does some surfing with wet suits.

Answer 3

The surf isn't great but there are breaks and sometimes even decent waves.  I only surfed there one time and it was mostly a wind swell.  It was the middle of summer but really cold.  The Eastern Surfing Association has a Great Lakes region.  Check their web site out for more details.

Answer 4

Yes, you can surf on Lake Michigan.  However it is probably more fickle than surfing on the Gulf Coast of Florida, which is pretty bad.   That said, there is a pretty hard core group of Great Lake surfers.  Check out Step Into Liquid or Unsalted for some good lake surfing.  

There is even a surf shop up there, they can get you pointed in the right direction:
