Best advice I can give is to not look at wave forecasts. They're probably pretty accurate for a south or southwest wind but they do not take wind direction into account, just wind speed. My general rule is every 5 mph is about 1 foot of wave height. Double it if it's anywhere from the north to the east because of the amount of lake it has to build. Also be cautious fishing a shallow spot surrounded by a lot of deep water like the NE corner of Kelley's. 40 feet of water getting pushed into 6 feet leads to big waves. That's why you see all these shows where they have really dangerous inlets on the ocean. Sandbars turn 5 foot waves into 10 foot breakers.
