Wind on the beach

  • The launch is on the eastern shore, roughly halfway up the lake, and faces about due west.
  • Open water runs five kilometres and more from south-west through west to north-west, so SW, W, NW and S arrive onshore or cross-onshore and those are the working directions.
  • E and SE blow offshore over houses and pines.
  • N is side-shore at best and runs along the bank toward the southern buoy line, which is exactly why a rider who cannot hold upwind in a north or north-west wind ends up outside the zone within minutes.
  • The orientation is read off the lake outline, not from a published local bulletin.

What the spot record warns about

  • Marshy/inundated launch
  • Muddy bottom
  • Hunting blinds / tonnes de chasse; keep at least 50 m away
  • Navigation forbidden south of the yellow buoys
  • Sensitive residential/natural area
  • Marshy or inundated launch, especially in winter
