Good sunny Wisconsin summer morning, this is Burton with your surf report for Racine County beaches effective on August the 26th 2010 at 10:41 a.m. Winds are light out of the NNE at 5 mph with the outside air temperature at a nice 71 degrees under very sunny skies with just a few clouds over Lake Michigan. Waves for early this morning were in the knee to thigh high range with a few bigger waves super early. Waves were mainly out of the north and surfing conditions at the top standout spots were in the poor to fair range with wave heights not as big as predicted. There were a few fun little lefts to be had with some clean conditions but like I said a little smaller then predicted. Today we will see plenty of sun in store with our outside air temperatures pushing up into the mid 70's at Racine beaches and winds will be light out of the east. Tonight we will see mainly clear skies with light winds out of the SSW and our night time low air temperatures will drop into the upper 50's at Racine beaches. Friday look for once again very sunny skies with moderate winds out of the SSW and our outside air temp's will push up into the upper 70's at Racine beaches. Friday night look for our night time low air temperatures to drop down into the low to mid 60's and skies will still be on the clear side. Winds will be light to moderate out of the SSW for Friday night. Saturday look for another beautiful sunny summer day with our outside air temperatures pushing back up into the upper 70's at Racine beaches. Winds for Saturday will still be on the moderate side out of the south and SSW. Saturday night look for our low air temperatures to drop back down into the low to mid 60's and skies will remain on the clear side. Winds for Saturday evening will be light to moderate out of the south and SSE. The sunrise this morning was at 6:09 a.m and the sun will set tonight at Racine County beaches at 7:36 p.m. The water surface temperatures off of Racine County beaches on Lake Michigan are at a very comfortable 70 degrees, it has been great the last couple of surf sessions being super warm. Well after this mornings little waves it really looks like waves will be in the knee high range and under for the next several days as far as the surf goes for the Racine area. So I hope you at least got a few waves in over these last couple of little swells on the longboard because it does not look good for a while. Have a great start to the weekend and check for Sunday's No Salt Surf report for Racine County beaches and get out an enjoy the last day's of summer. Another awesome shot from Brain Nevins from the Red Bull plane while we were up there on August the 8th 2010.

Good sunny Wisconsin morning, this is Burt with your surf report recorded on August the 25th 2010 for Racine beaches at 8:44 a.m. Winds are light out of the WNW at 8 mph with the outside air temperature at a cool 64 degrees under mainly sunny skies at Racine County beaches. Waves are starting off on the small side for this morning with wave heights only in the knee high range and under. Waves will be building as we go into the mid morning hours with wave heights pushing up into the knee to thigh high range with even a few bigger set waves filling in by the noon hour. Waves are going to be mainly out of the north with poor to fair surfing conditions but with the near shore winds staying moderate out of the NW we could see a couple of fun longboardable waves at the standout spots. Today we will see a lot of sun in store with only a few passing clouds for the afternoon hours and our outside air temperatures will push up into the low to mid 70's at Racine beaches. Tonight look for clear skies and winds will be light to moderate out of the NNW and we will see our night time low air temperatures drop into the cool mid 50's. The sunrise was this morning at 6:08 and the sun will set at 7:37 p.m tonight at Racine County beaches. The water surface temperatures off of Racine County beaches on Lake Michigan are between 66 an 68 degrees. Some little longboard waves going into the the noon hour for a few selective standout spots here in the Racine area and then early on Thursday morning I think we could see some better waves at the standout spots.We could see some fun surfing conditions with just light winds out of the NW and wave heights could push up into the stomach to maybe chest high range with some good surfing conditions. Have a great Wednesday and check for a early morning surf update for Thursday morning. Here is a picture from our Red Bull trip to the top of the lake on August the 7th 2010. Jason's RV, Rusty Malkemes, Mike K, Katie and Artem. Good times guys an cannot wait for the next surf trip. Burton

The sunrise was this morning at 6:07 a.m and the sun will set tonight at Racine County beaches at 7:39 p.m. The water surface temperatures off of Racine County beaches on Lake Michigan are right at 70 degrees.

The best bet to get the biggest wave heights would be to surf at the standout spots here in the Racine area with winds and waves out of the NNW and NW. Thursday morning actually looks like the better day for surfing here in the Racine area with as of now waves heights could push up into the waist to stomach high range. Winds an waves for Thursday morning will be mainly out of the north so the standout spots could be a little junkie for Thursday.

Good mid Thursday morning, this is Burt with your surf update recorded on August the 19th 2010 at 10:35 a.m for Racine County beaches. Winds are out of the WSW at 8 mph with the outside air temperature at 79 degrees under very sunny skies with only a few high clouds at Racine beaches. Another flat day in store with just light winds out of the southwest that are not producing any waves at all of Racine County beaches. A beautiful day on tap at Racine beaches with our outside air temperatures pushing up into the low 80's and skies will be partly cloudy overall. Tonight look for our night time low air temperatures to drop down into the upper 60's an maybe 70 degrees with mostly cloudy skies an winds will be light out of the ESE. The sunrise was this morning at 6:02 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 a comfortable 66 an 70 degrees. Well it finally looks like some potential for some small waves going into the next 3 day's for Racine County beaches. Starting off on Friday we could see some small waves maybe up to about knee to a little bigger with winds an waves out of the SSE. Saturday look for a better chance to get some once again small longboardable waves with winds and waves out of the south an SSW with you best bet being in the morning hours. Maybe drive more north away from Racine an Milwaukee Counties to get the better waves and like I said it will be dropping off into the mid day hours. Sunday looks the most promising for the Racine area with winds an waves mainly out of the NNE. We will have to see how it all pans out with in the next 24 hours but like I said the best bet to get some bigger waves for the Racine are looks to be on Sunday. Have a great Thursday and check for Friday mornings surf report. Another awesome picture from Brian Nevin taken from the Red Bull plane and you can see use in the lineup if you look close enough. Thanks once again Brian for the photos and to check more of his killer pictures out go to www.briannevins.com . Happy Surfing The Great Lakes and see you out in the water. Burton
