Super Seiche of 1939 The Marquette Mining Journal has a feature about a tremendous seiche (pronounced "saysh") that raised Lake Superior's water level at Marquette Harbor 8 feet on June 16, 1939, shortly after 10:30 AM. A seiche is caused when wind or air pressure changes cause the entire surface of a body of water to rhythmically rock back and forth from shore to shore, and this feature does an excellent job of explaining the phenomenon.
