Here is the good news, winds and waves will be out of the SSE but the winds will be switching more out of the SW and WSW going into the mid day hours. If you can get out for a surf when the winds switch offshore you will score some good waves here in the Racine area. Surfing conditions will be fair in the morning hours but like I said if you get out winds those winds switch off shore by mid day surfing conditions will be fair to good with some fun lefts and rights to be surfed. After Tuesday's waves it does look very small to flat for the next several days here in the Racine area. Have a great Presidents Day and check for Wednesday's next surf report. Here is a cool picture Will took with his water camera a few swells back when we were surfing in South Milwaukee on Lake Michigan. Happy Surfing The Great Lakes 2012. Burton
