It's from a 'seiche' http://www.geo.msu.edu/geogmich/seiches.htm This may cause dangerous current along the Lake. More that 1/2 of the Great Lakes rip currents occur along structures (piers and Jetties). Seiches may exacerbate the problem. According to the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project there have been 33 fatal drownings on the Great Lakes so far this year, last year there were 87. Rip currents are the biggest danger on the Great Lakes and everyone should learn what to do if they're caught in one. FLIP, FLOAT and FOLLOW! FLIP over onto your back and try to keep from panicking, FLOAT with the current to see where it is taking you, DO NOT FIGHT against the current, it’s like a treadmill. FOLLOW the safest path back to safety. There is no such thing as “undertow” the current will not pull you down. Control the panic and go with the flow.
