Western Lake Outflow Opening Soon?

Without the screaming.

OMG!

Are others going to break through soon? I'm seeing a lot of high water and sunken piers.

Usually the only ones to break are Eastern,Western and Oyster. But I think Oyster has been re-engineered:roll: so the other 2 are the only ones to do it "naturally"
EDITfrom the looks of the cam it should happen right in front of that truck. The sand looks really wet and that is usually the only reason people stop there.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Several other of our coastal dune lakes also open up just like Western and Eastern. That is one of the things which makes these Lakes so rare in our world. Big Redfish and Little Redfish are probably open right now, though I have not looked. Water levels of the Bay are also high, partly due to the large amounts of rain and partly due to the Moon's pull.

I guess those (Big Redfish and Little Redfish) dont get quite as much attention and I have never personally witnessed those 2 doing it. But I can believe that ANY of them would be open after the last few days of rain we've had. But I would think that as low as the north sides of those have been that they would have room to hold that amount of rain.

With Eastern and Western Lakes being our two largest in WalCo, their openings are usually much larger than the others. Also, Western and Eastern Lakes have much more development around them, so they are more often noticed, as many of the other Lake outflows are off the beaten track. Camp Creek and Big Redfish have been holding water out to the beach for a while. These smaller lakes will often flow out more often than Eastern and Western, but they don't always get that flow of Gulf water coming back in.

How long has it been since the last time they were open?

Where is the Western Lake outflow? Is it the place where it winds through Grayton State Park by the Red Bar and I then drag my kayak to the ocean?

Another reference to your avatar...?

Western Lake looks really cool with the high water and early morning mist!
