Yeaa boyyyyyyyyyyy! With enough wind you get some good waves. I remember SPI last Nov when the 12ft wind generated swell rolled through (buoy reading). Smooth and fast as hell and real close together. Good times for sure!

10 - 14 ft
Lake Erie is a complete washing machine mess when it gets big - at least my 'home' spot does. 
Is Michigan any cleaner ? |
