This morning was the warmest we’ve seen the lake this year, hitting 24 °C at our warmest site just outside Taynton Bay. The water is also beautifully clear right now, with turbidity down to 1.17 NTU: conditions couldn’t be better for swimming!
Thank you to long-time LWA supporter Gavin Jacobs for sharing his boat (and many interesting stories) and to long-time Pulse Check reader and outdoors enthusiast Don Gunn, who loved learning about how we monitor the lake.
