Oops. Lake temp is wrong! only 33 deg's. We usually get off pretty easy in the Toronto area now for snow but we had more than we usually do so everyone is itching to get out. However this is tempered by the realization how cold the water is and taking the appropriate precautions.
To west of us near Detroit and Lake St Clair is a lot milder. Lake St. Clair warms up the quickest - it is the shallowest of the great lakes. Shorties in the other lakes come out in late June early July.
Kiters aren't really hardcore up here when it comes to weather. The surfers are! They surf all winter through with 6/5/4 wetsuits and gloves. That's hardcore!
