On December 6th,2021, 50-60mph winds created waves 15-18 feet high in Saint Joseph Michigan! Some of the biggest wave crashes I've recorded yet

Always amazing to watch the power of water, thanx Nate

[@laurieswanson6848]

Just imagine if you were the one that has to go out there during a storm because the light went out. Long walk there

If you aint got muscles youd easily be swept out to sea to never be seen again.

That's pretty amazing...if I didn't know better, I would think that I was standing right here along the coast of Nova Scotia watching the Atlantic Ocean ragging! Bruce and Otis

The lakes can be wild! St Joseph has some beautiful beaches.

[@shirleybalinski4535]

Come experience our Lakes!!

[@cynthiasmith4130]

I love Michigan, it's just beautiful!!!! Come to our State, you will love it!!!! 🥀🥀🥀🥀....

[@28pbtkh23]

Wow - what rough seas!!! But then I remember it’s just a big lake.

[@larryslemp9698]

Awesome man!! I would loved to have seen the drone move down much closer to the ocean!!

[@dallas-sf1ib]

What ocean? That's one of the Great Lakes.

[@benneebean8199]

they dont look 15 feet, but still pretty big for lake michigan.

[@tomtax1960]

Great interesting movie. Fantastic views. Very good stable drone flights. I like your work. Greetings from Poland I subscribe

[@samsungw200]

Crazy to think that’s all fresh water

[@natesdronography6260]

yep its hard to believe

[@markborzak9308]

With such high winds how does the camera stay so steady?

[@SamWitney]

All the great lakes tend to have large waves generated pretty easy. The thing that makes them dangerous is there intervals are shorter and waves are closer together then on a sea or ocean. It makes them more dangerous to boats as boats can capsize easier. Only good thing is no sharks to eat you. But these lakes are cold and temperatures will get you pretty quick. You can pretty much surf on any of the great lakes, except for Lake Erie. Which is the shallowest of the great lakes. It gets good size waves at times, but nothing big enough to surf on from what I've seen. Makes a fun day at the beach though.

[@natesdronography6260]

this is great information!

[@larryslemp9698]

Yeah, like the old Captain said....."I don't care so much about the height of the waves.....I want to know how far apart they are!!

[@sharonsplat]

Nice video!! ❤️

[@kevinswales7003]

You would think that this would attract a lot of surfers out there. I guess that surfing is not a big sport on the Great Lakes.

[@tobyradenbaugh8965]

Think again. No surfers that day But the Great Lakes are vast - and tons of surfer video on youtube to proove it

[@encinobalboa]

I appreciate dramatic video but those are not 15 foot breakers. Those are 6 footers, tops.

[@dukelacrosse8994]

I'm Homesick!!

[@tobyradenbaugh8965]

This is not really that of a rough a day on the biggest lake in the World😂 Seriously Grew up in St Joe 👍

[@mattlechner8442]

it's a good thing fresh water is not as "wet" as salt water, provided it's above the dew point.
