Big Lake Superior Waves

When my sister, Diana, was visiting we drove to the end of Coast Guard Point to check out the huge Lake Superior waves that were slamming into the breakwall.  Winds were around 30 mph with gusts higher than that.  The waves were around 12 feet.

Warning sign about high waves....

Looking across the channel to the east breakwall....

Notice the three guys, two of whom went onto the breakwall.  Dangerous, very dangerous.

My sister documenting the waves....

The guy in the tan coat went out far enough out to be in the danger zone.  I still cannot believe that he was not washed into the channel.
