Sunday has really been downgraded as of now to and it looks like waves heights for Sunday will be in the shin high range and under. Well you never know this time of year as far as waves go but it can only get better going into this next few months so hang in there.

Good late Friday morning, this is Burt with your surf update for Racine County beaches recorded on July the 30th 2010 at 11:06 a.m. Winds are out of the SSW at 10 mph with the outside air temperature at 76 degrees under cloudy skies at Racine County beaches. Waves for this morning an going through the day are on the very small side with wave heights in the shin high range an under. Today we will see mostly cloudy skies with our outside air temperatures only pushing up into the upper 70's at Racine beaches and winds will stay on the light to moderate side out of the SSW. This afternoon look for a chance for some light to moderate rain showers with a few peeks of some sunshine mixed in. Tonight look for still a chance for some thunderstorms along with some light to moderate rain showers an cloudy skies. Winds for tonight will be on the light side out of the south and the sun will set at 8:14 p.m. The sunrise was this morning at 5:40 a.m and the water surface temperatures off of Racine County beaches on Lake Michigan are right at a warm 68 degrees. Ok, with all the other weather models saying that there is not going to be some small waves for Saturday and Sunday I am going to go with my gut feeling on it and I am saying there is going to be some small waves in store for this weekend. Saturday morning we could see some small waves up to about the knee to thigh high range with winds and waves out of the SSE an south but surfing conditions will still be on the poor side. Sunday morning we could see a repeat from last Sunday's little waves out of the NNE and north with once again we will see wave heights in the knee to thigh high range. Lets really hope everything comes together some we can get out and catch a few longboardable waves and enjoy the nice water temperatures here in the Racine area. Have a great Friday and check for Saturday's No Salt Surfcast. Will Wall on a small longboardable wave from this last Sunday's waves.

Today we will see moderate to heavy rain showers for this morning with a few rumbles of thunder an some lightning and winds will be light to moderate out of the SE. Our outside air temperatures for today will push up into the upper 70's to maybe the low 80's at Racine beaches with mostly cloudy skies and a good chance for some afternoon thunderstorms and some moderate rain showers. Tonight look for moderate winds out of the SSW with cloudy skies an still a good chance for some thunderstorms along with some rain showers.

The sunrise was this morning at 5:33 a.m an the water surface temperatures off of Racine County beaches on Lake Michigan are between 64 and 66 degrees. Waves are starting out on the very small side for this morning but will be building through the day with winds and waves out of the SE. The biggest waves will start filling into this late afternoon with wave heights pushing up into the knee to the thigh high range with a few bigger set waves before the sun sets. Overall surfing conditions will still be on the poor side with the smaller conditions an your bet bet would be to break out your longest longboard to get the best glides in. After today's little waves it does look very small to flat for the next couple of day's but we could see some leftover waves for early on Friday morning. You got to be on it super early though if you want to surf for Friday because it will be dropping fast with winds and waves out of the SSW and wave heights will only be in the knee to maybe a little bit bigger for Friday early morning. Have a great day and check out what Freestyle watch did on Surfing Lake Michigan on their blog Freestyle Blog | | . Have a great Thursday and check for Friday's mid day surf report for Racine County beaches. Another picture from the beautiful Washington Island.
