About Lake Crescent

Lake Crescent covers about 5,189 acres in Clallam County, Washington and is classed as a natural lake. The surface sits about 584 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 623 ft down.

We have not matched Lake Crescent to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

Mid-sized lakes like this one tend to have shifty, gusty wind near shore and steadier pressure in the middle, which is why gust spread matters as much as average speed.

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.
