Notice the wind isn't coming on shore,,, if it was, those waves would be really nasty. I'll bet a mile or two off shore they were probably 15' to 20'.
haha yea wtf, these waves are small. i live in holland and i go to south haven/ grandhaven all the time to surf depending on what way the wind is, waves hit 8 feet easy little past the first sandbar when wind is like 30 mph or so
Never been to Lake Michigan before? Back in 1998 We had a really really bad storm in November! South Haven is a great place to grow up.. But I wouldnt want to live there! NOW! * Hey why dont you go walk out on the lighthouse! Thats what most of the tourists try to do- Even thou the signs say don't!
I have windsurfed in many locations, Gorge, North Shore Maui, but a day a few years ago in September at Silver Beach was the most radical day of sailing in my life. That day, the waves were 16 ft with winds 45 knot straight out of the North and water temps in the 50's. Once you were out in the lake the white caps were the size of school buses. This place can rock and can kill you!!!
I read ya. Although Summer and Spring days on lakes are plentiful, your video is pretty regular on Lake Michigan. (I'd still NEVER,, swim in it. Check out "Lake Michigan Waves" in the related, the wave in slow motion dwarfs anything I have ever seen in first person on any great lake. Enjoy the lake this Spring! (That is if BP and Co. haven't turned it orange yet, lol)

This is filmed by someone who is obviously not from Michigan. Or if they are, then they must be from the thumb. Ha!

Dude, that's nothing? "Nothing like I've ever seen before". How long have you been around???

For someone who has never lived near Lake Michigan and only visited, it was something. It sure wasn't a nice spring or summer day at the beach.
