Interesting Facts Of The Day
The water temperature on June 28 at the south buoy in the middle of Lake Michigan is 62 degrees, which is 7 degrees warmer from a week ago. Although, the temperture has dropped from 69 on Saturday with a steady wind that stirred things up.
Almost every year I can remember since the 1960's, we have had some pretty good waves for surfing the week of July 4th. It may be that the water finally warms up close to the air temperature which is important for wave generation.
Because cold air is denser than warm air, it will tend to sink or stay near the surface. While warm air is light and it will rise up in the atmosphere. Therefore if one would measure the temperature at the surface, 25 feet and 50 feet there can be some significant temperature differences. The local topography of an area can have a big effect on the temperature gradient, especially if the terrain includes a lake or mountain.
