I'm going out on a charter tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knew what subsurface temps were in Lake Huron near Sanilac? I'm trying to decide if I should wear the core warmer and deal with the extra lead.

Cold! The temps at depth never get much above 45 to 47 degrees.
OP
Thanks! Mid 40's means no core warmer.
And less weight.

Does any one know what the water temps are out on the lake now?

Greetings shermen as of 08 / 19-20-21 / 2011 Temps off my gage were as follows;
149' 42.8º
117' 48º
80' 52º
53' 72º
44' 72º
23' 74º
18' 74º
These were actual wrecks so it was pretty warm till you broke the thermocline at 50'+ it got colder.
I was diving dry and if going deep over 60' then you will want to wear appropriate undergarments.
I have been wearing fleece for the 60' to 70' but have been bone cold with 45 min. + bottom times not counting deco stops.
Once you break that 50' you wish it was colder!
Ran 66 min total run time on the Dunderberg on Friday and a 75 min. about a month ago and the water has warmed significantly above 50'.
Hope this gives you an idea what to expect.
It has been a stellar season this year condition wise.
Enjoy your dives.
