Plan your surfing sessions on the Great Lakes with surfradar.info! See summary of surf conditions and wave forecast for the Great Lakes for the USA and Canada. Drill down to the current buoy data and web cams for select spots. Best forecasts for surfers, bodyboarders, kiters, fishermen, yachtsmen and boaters on lake Ontario, lake Erie, lake Michigan, lake Huron and lake Superior. The Great Lakes surf forecast is refreshed every 3 hours from Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System (GLCFS). Normally, the fun begins with reported waves of 3 ft (0.91 m), but still, please double check with the nearest buoy or surf-cam and read the Disclaimer. Currently we have surfcams at dashboards for Port Stanley ON, Sauble Beach ON by Sauble Trading Post, Grand Bend ON, Kincardine ON, Fifty Point ON (near Hamilton), Toronto ON, Rochester NY, Chicago IL, Holland MI (Grand Haven is nearby). There are also weather cams (surf line is not seen): Erie PA, Mentor, OH.

As of June 24, 2025 Great Lakes Waves forecast data format has changed by NOAA it provides just 72 hour of forecast instead of the former 149. And I don't see the corresponding plain picture wind maps at glerl.noaa.gov, if you find ones - feel free to message me on Facebook. Map browsing is reworked to accommodate the new model - up to 72 hours of waves forecast. I am working on the new format integration for charts. Stay tuned!
Had a great day? Share the joy! :-) Help support surfradar.info
