What winds effect the lake in this area, I see what is predicted but just curious what the predicted winds will do for the water. We plan on running a smaller boat and don't want to beat it or ourselves us if we don't need to. I would think a west or Northwest wind would be the toughest conditions?

Down load "SurfingLakes" onto your iPhone. Great app.

As the locals know this run is great because we can run an alternate course if needed where wind is not much of a factor. It's still early. Yesterday we where having Thunderstorms all day today and I am looking at clouds with the sun peaking through. See you all tomorrow.

I've cancelled my plans to attend on Friday due to the significant potential for severe weather on my side of the border. The plan now is to get up really early on Saturday morning to drive down to your run. PLEASE NOTE: I still plan on running unless all hell breaks loose. I would like to add one thing. If the current wave report for Lake Erie on Saturday turns out to be correct. I have no intentions of playing in those 6 plus footers in my little boat. Thank goodness you can use the Niagara River alone as plan "B".
