is above correct?

also, what effect does north/south wind have in terms of water clarity?

all depends on time of the year and what winds are blowing for


West wind in the winter time you can hang it up ....LAKE is trashed

East winds winter time you are good most of the time

Hard north could go both ways but you can still have fish able waters up north

South usually always clears lake up


Tides
all on the moon .... you will have slower tides with hard north winds if its coming in or Slow if winds are hard south and its falling

East winds usually push tides higher and West lower but not always

Water all moves west out in the gulf current
every day is different but your main reason for good tides or bad tides are by the moon
