Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best consistent surf comes on west to southwest swells with an east (onshore-to-offshore) breeze.
Tides in Lake Michigan have minimal effect, though the channel/current near the piers can change peak placement.
Lineup Guide
The channel, breakwall and scattered nearshore rocks concentrate peaks near the pier and create punchy takeoffs - watch foot traffic on the breakwall and subsurface rocks around the channel.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
