How long to calm the giant?

[TonyV]

How long does it take to calm the lake down after a big blow like this? Weather app looks good for Friday morning but Thursday is going to be just like today. Like everyone I am trying to get one more trip in but it's a two hour drive to find out. I have done that twice this year already...... stupid wind app.

Anybody's guess but I'm thinking light North winds on Friday, lake should be ok, hopefully

The bad news as it stands at the moment we will get big SW winds stronger than today all day tomorrow until about 9 pm. The good news after that it's supposed to drop off to a light NW wind which I'm expecting will lay the lake down nicely by Friday morning. The wind is supposed to be light NW until it switches to a light SW at around noon.

Sounds like good fishing weather so let's hope the forecast holds true because I too want out on the lake at least one more time.

Only sure way is to check the wave height on the bouy off port Stanley..... anything 1.0 ft or more is likely to rough to fish for most boats....and the people in it...lol.

May be others can give more expert advise, but I'd bet the water will be muddy a long way out??

Friday is looking good.
Also use the app Windy, I take a good drive and it hasn't failed me yet

Thanks Mick, I drive down from north of Guelph normally to Burwell. I've tried Dover and Maitland but seem to always do better out of Burwell. Regardless it's two hour to get on Erie water from here. I will check Windy app and the Stanley bouy on Friday early. Its going to be busy out ther if that wind sits down Friday,
