Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior
National Weather Service Marquette MI
1000 PM EST Mon Feb 16 2026

For waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on Lake Superior.

Waves are the significant wave height - the average of the
highest 1/3 of the wave spectrum. Occasional wave height is the
average of the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.SYNOPSIS...

A 29.8 inch trough will be followed by height rises tonight as a
ridge builds to 30.2 inches into tomorrow. The ridging then gives
way to pressure falls into the middle of the week as a 29.1 inch low
lifts off of the Central Rockies and into the Upper Midwest by
Wednesday, weakening to 29.2 inches as it does so. This brings
troughing of at least 29.6 inches over the lake by Wednesday
afternoon before weak ridging moves over at 29.9 inches on Thursday.
A Colorado low then moves through the Central Plains on Thursday
before lifting towards the Straits at 29.5 inches on Friday,
weakening as it moves into Ontario Friday evening.
