About Lake Waubesa
Lake Waubesa covers about 2,300 acres in Wisconsin and is classed as a natural lake.
Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 05429485 (Lake Waubesa at Mc Farland, WI). 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.
