Looking at winds for Glasgow next week, she’s sitting at 16klm South wind. Thinking of making the long drive with a 16.5 princecraft pro series..

Is 16klm south “borderline” ?

any feedback or “rule of thumb” would be great and kept in ye olde memory bank

Are you sure it is 16klm and not 16kts?

I agree with @vmuravin and don't put much faith in any forecast more than 48 hours out because it's bound to change (and almost always does.) That said, from what I can see on the sites I look at trying to figure out when I might be able to go park my butt on the pier to try again next week, any day starting Tuesday might be ok providing those thunderstorms that are also forecast every day for the next week starting this coming Saturday don't show up. I don't mind sitting out there in the rain, but even I'm not fool enough to sit out there in the middle of a thunderstorm and I wouldn't intentionally get caught out on the lake in one. Had that experience on Great Slave Lake in the NWT.:nailbiting: We saw the storm building off in the distance, thought we had lots of time. We were wrong. From the time we first saw it until it hit us packing high winds, lots of lightning and torrential rain was 20 minutes. We learned a valuable lesson that day.

Thanks for de-railing my question, Stomp! I will return the favour! Lol

what’s the rule of thumb for “wind speeds” and direction for the Canadian side of Lake Erie? Specifically for a 16.5 aluminum with 70hp.

Off shore direction 15 -18 k
On shore direction 10-12 k
East or West 10-12 k
I'm in 17.5 foot boat and when winds reach 20 k it becomes hard to stand steady in the boat
With east and west you can get good size rollers plus the chop on top
 
To add to @Ticker response
East wind will give nasty chop Un predictable west is usually big predictable rollers.

N isn’t always great either if it picks up fast and you are way offshore can get nasty very quick.
