Good Friday afternoon, This is Burt with your surf report recorded on April the 27th 2012 at 2:01 p.m. Winds are light out of the ESE at 9 mph and the outside air temperature is at a cool 46 degrees under very sunny skies at Racine County beaches. Waves for early this morning were in the knee to thigh high range but overall conditions for surfing were on the poor side due to lack of swell.Today we will see plenty of sun in store and winds will be light out of the east. The outside air temperatures for today will only push up into the mid 40's at Racine beaches. Tonight look for increasing clouds with moderate winds out of the ENE. The outside air temperatures for tonight will drop down to about 40 degrees. The sunrise was this morning at 5:48 a.m and the sun will set tonight at Racine County beaches at 7:47 p.m. The water surface temperatures off of Racine County beaches on Lake Michigan are between 42 and 44 degrees. Well after yesterday's waves that actually got bigger and a few fun waves to be had at the sheltered spots than my forecast said it was going to be. Hope you got out for a surf somewhere on Lake Michigan. We will have waves on Saturday but not the best swell direction with winds and waves directly out of the east. Overall surfing conditions will be on the poor side for tomorrow du to the blown out sloppy conditions. Sunday is looking to be in the shin high range and under. Have a great weekend and check for Monday's next surf update. Here is photo that Will Wall took of me while we were surfing here in the Racine area. Floating it on my longboard. Happy Surfing The Great Lakes 2012. Burton. |
