Wave height is only one factor. Distance between waves is even more
important. I'll take a 50 foot ocean wave over a 25 foot Great Lakes wave
any day.


Plus there's something about water density - Superior's fresh water vs.
ocean salt water - and how that factors into the makeup of the waves.

I've been hunting online for the video of an ore ship on Superior, its bow
twisting and bending in a rough Great Lakes storm. I love Lake Superior, big
ships and waves ...I was awestruck by the sight I saw on that video.

We rent a cabin "on" Superior every year...
