About Ashumet Pond

Ashumet Pond is a 203-acre natural lake in Barnstable County, Massachusetts.

We read the level from USGS gauge 413758070320501, listed as Ashumet Pond, Falmouth, MA. Wind and weather come from the National Weather Service grid cell over the lake, so the numbers describe open water rather than the nearest airport.

Small lakes rarely build big waves, but trees and hills around the shore make the wind patchy. Expect sudden puffs and lulls rather than a steady breeze.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
