Big Lake weird
 

I have a question about Big Lake. I'm kinda new to this. And I'm just learning Big Lake. I fish there about once a month. First time there was Nov 2015. I always look at the weather forecast before I go. The one's that show weather conditions hour by hour in advance. Where you can see the rain percentages and wind speed and direction from 1am to 8pm.
Why is it that the weather forecast will show S or SSE winds at 3 mph in the am picking up to lets say 6 mph by noon(which doesn't seem bad) and when I get there....... it's too rough to fish in a bass boat. :confused:

BTW.....I don't post much, BUT i read this forum EVERY day !!

Trying to learn as much as I can. I have 2 boys, 8 and 10, that absolutely LOVE fishing.

Are you looking at lake Charles forecast? If so look at Hackberry and Cameron

No.......i always type in the forecast for Hackberry LA

Thanks for the advice. ALL advice welcome.

Wind can be out of the north in hackberry and south in cameron

Always add 10mph to wind forcasts...

Where do u launch

Wind is always measured with sustained winds, the gust are not posted so 5mph wind with 10-15 gust will make the water rough.

^^this is the winner!

Hebert's or Spicer-Hughes

i use a weather forecast and then Windfiner.com. I usually split the difference between the two forecasts. Windfinder is almost always on the high end.

I dont know big Lake well but i do know that. It's just like Toledo, add 10 every time.

agreed
 

^^windfinder app is helpful

Wind finder and windalert apps

Add 20 if you see that I will be fishing.

LOL :grinpimp: :D

ok. Thanks a bunch !

we always go off of cameron forecast and usually pretty accurate

Like you I'm relatively new to fishing big lake and asked similar questions. I was pointed to these two sites and they do help.
