Good day all,
I think George K posted something like this a month or so ago ... So I was really careful not to break my foot on this one (my turn for a Great Lakes wind and wave event)...
Pictures were taken when near Toronto, Canada for business and caught large waves ang high winds on Lake Ontario ahead of strong mid-lattitude low pressure system (990 or less MB).
Above: Big Great Lakes low pressre system on October 23, 2009 ... My position during this time is where the yellow arrow is pointed to, in the strong winds northeast of the surface low and high to its east (Toronto, Ontario).
Above: Large breaking waves (6 feet or so) on the northwest side of Lake Ontario west of Toronto, Canada on October 23, 2009. Winds are east at 30 - 35 MPH sustained with higher gusts, air temperature is low 40's.
Above: Confused and rough surf (8 feet or more with spin-drifting) on Lake Ontario. West of Toronto, Canada on October 23, 2009.
Above: Waves over 8 feet crashing over breakwater on Lake Ontario. West of Toronto, Canada on October 23, 2009.
Did not see any surfers out on this trip, though
