Marine Forecast for Lake of the Woods

A bit of a choppy day on the water as northwest winds gust up to 20 km/h. Showers will move through in the afternoon, making for reduced visibility and a wet ride. Waves will be around 1 metre, so small boats should exercise caution. Water temperature is cooling, sitting at about 12°C.
September 30:
Winds calm down to around 10 km/h from the northwest, and the skies clear. Waves will subside to about half a metre, making for a smooth sail across the lake. A great day for a paddle or fishing expedition, but pack some warm layers, as the air will be crisp.
October 1:
Ideal conditions for a day out on the lake! Winds from the southwest at 10 km/h, with calm waters and waves less than 0.5 metres. Plenty of sunshine to enjoy, but the cooler temperatures (high of 13°C) mean you should still bring a warm jacket. Perfect for a leisurely boat ride or some early fall fishing.
Wardrobe Suggestions for the Lake:
Out on the water, conditions can change quickly. Waterproof gear and a warm jacket are key. Layers are essential, as the wind on the lake will make it feel cooler than in town. Gloves and a hat will help keep you comfortable, especially in the mornings and evenings when temperatures dip.
Lake of the Woods Marine Trivia:
Lake of the Woods can be a dynamic environment, with quickly changing weather conditions due to its size. In late September, the lake’s surface temperature can drop quickly, so staying dry is key to a safe and enjoyable boating experience!
