Determining Lake Conditions....

[GBalls]

Hey Guys,

 

 I will admit that I am a fair weather fisherman. Prefer nice calm water. (like glass with just enough breeze to keep the bugs away is ideal! Don't enjoy bobbing around like a cork. I do check 'Windfinder' each day, but has anyone determined the best combination of settings for predicting a calm day out on the water, north shore of Lake Ontario? I have had days where it showed a lot of wind, but the lake is calm when I thought it would have been rough?! Would really appreciate any insights. Be great to be able to determine best days to go in the week with some accuracy without getting down there only to out find it's a roller coaster!

 

Look forward to any responses. Thank you, Glenn

Glenn,

I use a combination of wind finder and an app called fishing points. Between the two they’re quite good. Also check the environnement canada marine forecast.

Thank you East End Troller, really appreciate the advice. Will check that app out!

The weather buoys are the best. They give wave height and have cameras on them

May I humbly suggest that you find a supernaturally gifted weather prophet. Those guys are right a full fifty percent of the time.

Appreciate the suggestions, thank you. Is there a website where one can view the weather buoys from the camera perspective?
