Clermont, FL this morning - The early bird catches the glass.

(And beats the jet-skiers on that busy thanksgiving weekend.)

Air - somewhat around 75 at that time, water - warm enough for just a vest and shorts.

Coldfront rushing in on Monday with temps dropping to around 35F Wednesday night. ?

Had a set yesterday and one today... water 51 air 63.

Weather starts changing tomorrow and a cold front is coming with significant drop in temperatures. Don’t know how long is going to last, but don’t see any skiing happening for the next 10 days...

@Zaneh2oski we missed you at Ski Watch this morning. I got a nice 70 air/70 water set with Tommy J. Your sister took off with Dan White so we claimed lake 4 first. I even saw @The_MS boat going up and down the lake but he was nowhere to be seen. Must’ve been out yelling at children.

@aupatking Darn. You were just over an hour away, but we skied 60 air, 66 water on Saturday.

Then, winterized boat with high 20s coming. Just drained water. Ready to go when it warms back up soon.

I need to check out @The_MS Nautique 200.

We usually don’t even try to ski on our public lake on weekends. Too many boats messing up the water. On a Thanksgiving holiday weekend like today, forget about it. But with some rainy, windy weather and a cold front coming in (lows predicted in the mid 30s here in Central FL) and the water temp certain to plunge this coming week, we gave it a shot. Worst case scenario we’d turn around and go home if the ramps looked jammed. What a great surprise! Only 3 trailers in the parking lot when we arrived and very light winds. We darn near had the entire 5,000 acre lake to ourselves save for a single jet skier who made a brief pass near us. The water measured 73°, air was about the same and ski conditions were excellent.

@Rednucleus Kitsap Lake is right outside of Bremerton. Public lake with some backwash when the water is high, but the course is decent and the skiing crowd on the lake is great. I get out to Stella blue once or twice a year, and down to Maytown as often as I can thanks to some welcoming friends. If your over this way, let me know!

Today is the last day of November and we have logged in 12 days this month. Second highest number of days in November in the last 20 years. 50 deg water and 60 deg air and no wind. Perfect day. Like ALL of this November has been. Even with a leaky drysuit and a Camaro top underneath.

@Dockoelboto Thanks for the invite, I'd love to ski there sometime and always look forward to meeting more people in the ski community. You're welcome up here too if you want! I'll send you another message with my contact info. Take care all and have a good December.

Time to resurrect this thread for 2021. I was thrilled to get out 8 days in October; see if November weather can continue to be so kind. Hardest part of skiing this past weekend was trying not to slip & fall on the frozen dock - that would be an embarrassing ski injury!

Went out in NW Illinois today. Very nice conditions for November. Sadly, I’ve only got one or two times left at most. Can’t believe the season is basically over, but had zero interruptions for high water this year which is pretty rare lately.

My plane landed at 12.15 into Miami international, Headed straight to the lake after bag and rental car pick up. 2 sets on 8 ball course. Even with 20mph NW wind the conditions were perfect. Unlike my skiing.
