I can't speak for all Greta lakes, but have surfed Lake Michigan in summer. Pretty common to get waste high on a windy day, good enough for a boogie
board or long board like a SUP that also does the duty on flat days. Pretty short period waves, but it's fresh water, visibility is often far
superior to salt water such as west coast, and there are no sharks, so no nagging worries.
SUP is the ticket, easy to thrash the wind chop and get a smile on

After several days of persistent south wind the fickle finger of frio reached around the tip and brought that cold water over to our side. It had been
80+ on the near east cape and now we are in the 60's. Good God! I put a wetsuit on the other day!
This crazy cold water seems to be a regular occurrence in June. But it sure keeps the weather mild.

June Gloom died yesterday in Oside. It was glassy and fun at the Harbor.
As for Dora, hopefully he/she stalls out there for three weeks and then turns on for my trip. I'm selfish, I know.
