Big waves in the forecast for the Great Lakes

If you've ever wanted to see people surfing on the Great Lakes, this weekend will be a great time to do it.   Lake Michigan should see waves in the 10-foot range and Lake Superior will have some 15-footers.  And while Sheboygan, WI isn't positioned to see the biggest waves, it will be hosting the Dairyland Surf Classic 2010 this weekend.  My guess is that many of the best Great Lakes surfers will be drawn to places with bigger waves, but the event should be fun to attend nevertheless.
