Buoy season is here!
Our Wilmette and Chicago buoys are live for 2026 streaming real-time water temperature, wave height, wind speed, and more from southern Lake Michigan.
Perfect for planning your beach day. Essential for lake research. Free for everyone.
Huge thanks to buoy specialist Les Warren for getting us back on the water!

Summer on Lake Michigan is the best, and a little prep makes it even better. 🌊☀️
Dangerous currents near piers and breakwalls surprise even strong swimmers. Here`s what to know:
✅ Swim in designated areas
↔️ Caught in a current? Swim to the side — not against it — then to shore
🆘 In danger? Call for a life ring
Save this post and share it with your swim crew. 👇
