A seiche (pronounced "saysh") is a standing wave or sloshing motion in an enclosed or partially enclosed body of water, like a lake, bay, or pool, caused by external forces such as strong winds, rapid changes in atmospheric pressure, or even earthquakes, leading to water level fluctuations that can last for hours or days. It's essentially the water oscillating back and forth, similar to water in a bathtub after being disturbed, but on a much larger scale, and it's a natural phenomenon common in the Great Lakes and other large bodies of water

Strong winds from a winter storm created a somewhat rare weather phenomenon on Lake Erie this week, pushing water eastward and exposing miles of lake bed along western shorelines in Michigan and Ohio.
