This website gives wind and wave forecasts for the Great Lakes.

This website allows you to access local water levels, tide and current predictions, and other oceanographic and meteorological conditions on Lake Michigan.

This website's forecasting system is an experimental set of hydrodynamic computer models that predict lake circulation and other physical processes (e.g.thermal structure, waves, ice dynamics) of the lakes and connecting channels in a real-time nowcast and forecast mode. These research models provide timely information on currents, water temperatures, short-term water level fluctuations (e.g. seiche, storm surge), ice, and waves out to 120 hours into the future.
