OSWEGO:Today's lake conditions 08/23/13

[jeffrwallace]

Hey everyone, I was thinking about bringing a few green horns out this afternoon, but if the water is too rough than I'm not gunna risk it. Anyone out there now or is going out today that may have some insight on current conditions and potential future conditions for this afternoon? (Wave size to be specific) LOOKING FOR POTENTIAL CONDITIONS AROUND 3PM

 

 

PS: I'm at work right now otherwise Id be driving down to Brietbeck every few hours to see for myself

The lot attendant looked at my 17 ft boat, then looked at me and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"  

 

Wind speed is half of what it was at 6.  Going to give it a couple more hours and head back up.

check this link, there is a pretty good webcam for Oswego harbor, if the waves are spraying over the breakwall or you see a lot of white caps out there it is a pretty good sign to stay home!!

If you activate Java the camera will update every few seconds so you can actually see the wave action

4-5's???  Well I guess we made the right call heading home this morning. It was rough yesterday morning and laid down nicely by 1 pm. Amazing how quick it an kick up and how fast it can lay down. We scooted when the storm came thru.
