Small Craft Advisory conditions are possible Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 26–27, on Lake Michigan nearshore waters that include the Sheboygan-to-Port Washington area, according to the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan office. Its Hazardous Weather Outlook was issued at 12:12 a.m. CDT Sunday, Oct. 25. The outlook describes a possibility; it does not announce an active advisory.

A marine forecast issued at 2:56 a.m. CDT Sunday calls for northeast winds increasing to 15–25 knots and waves of 4–7 feet, occasionally 9 feet, Monday. For Tuesday, it forecasts southeast winds of 15–25 knots and waves of 4–6 feet, occasionally 8 feet. Those wave details apply to offshore zone LMZ675, not shoreline conditions.
