Why Riders Love It
Front driven South winds can go nuclear in the spring and fall. Listen for I80 closure due to Semi Truck blow overs and head to Rush for a real spank session. North post frontal clearing winds tend to be lighter than South but steadier. Summer thermals are likely, and can be enhanced by high pressure over Nevada.
When to Go
Warm in May to September, shorty or shorts. Long wetsuit during the rest of the year. Winter can be cold.
What to Expect
A 3 ft deep 200 yard fetch, provides mainly flat water sailing. Rush is currently knee to waste deep. The lake was bone dry by Autumn 2004 so get it while you can.
