Background reading: Diamond Lake on Wikipedia
Diamond Lake is a 2,824-acre natural lake in Douglas County, Oregon. The surface sits about 5,185 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 52 ft down.
Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 14312450 (Diamond Lake near Diamond Lake, OR), about 2 mi from the middle of the lake. 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. At about 5,185 ft, summer afternoons often bring building wind and quick thunderstorms, and the water stays cold well into the season.
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.
