Wind Speed/Direction = Calm Seas

[LazyDays]

Thanks for the information everyone.

One more thing. What should I expect with a North, or North East, or a East wind? Not sure what to ask for wind speed.

Thanks again,

From my experience, the Lake Erie marine forecast typically underestimates wave height when a N or NE wind is involved. So if it’s calling for 2 feet or less, I’m usually expecting 2-3 footers. Also depends on your position on the lake, I launch out of Sandusky bay so I’m affected more by NE winds. With the islands, can always tuck in close to the leeward side of south bass or Kellys on windier days

Download the Free AP IWINDSURF it gives real time wind speed and Direction, anything more than 10 Knots out of the N NE I do not go.
as stated above the National weather service Forecast is wrong alot, also it can be much different at the Lake than it is at my House 3 Miles away . again use IWINDSURF .
