Caillou Lake is a 10,276-acre natural lake in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.
We read the level from USGS gauge 07381349, listed as Caillou Lake (sister Lake) Sw of Dulac, LA. 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.
On a lake this size the wind has miles of open water to work with, so a 15 kt breeze can stack up a steep chop in the main basin while sheltered coves stay flat.
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.
