Wave forecasts.

Is it just me or have the Wave Forecast been horrible for the Oswego area this year. It seems like every weekend there's a huge blow and it's not worth my drive up from 2 hours away .

Wave forecasts have NEVER been accurate enough to plan a trip around. I’ve spent many mornings sitting at Mexico Pt or Oswego watching the waves break over the walls when the prediction is 1-3 footers   Experience had taught me to add 1 ft to ANY prediction. If it says 1-3 , count on 2-4.  That said I’ve gotten to the launch and found flat seas.  Bottom line   What you see is what you get

To all LOU members, I have a web cam on my lake house in sunset bay can give lake reports anytime. Looks like it's blowing pretty bad right now, tight lines.........Pete
