Over the last decade, Sheboygan
has emerged as the Fresh Water Surf
Capital of the World. For those learning
to surf, the summer months are the best.
Seasoned surfers enjoy the peak season of
mid-September through April. When winds
of 20-25 mph blow from the northeast
or west-southwest, incredible waves are
sculpted from the surface water. Several
times a year, Lake Michigan produces an
open water swell of 24 feet or better. For
those wanting a more leisurely experience,
our lakeshores are busy with standup
paddle boarding (SUP). Sheboyganites
enjoy SUPing on Lake Michigan, Elkhart
Lake, the Quarry and many inland lakes.
