Depends on high and lows, 5-35 knots. Southwest to Northwest most often. Best with Southwest till Northeast, WNW best direction. The lake has 2 great spots, one at either side of the lake, so you can go there with almost every wind direction. The lake is quite big so the wind is very nice and constant. It can vary from 0 days in a month to 20 days in a month.
