About Lake Crowley

Lake Crowley is a 4,372-acre reservoir in Mono County, California. The reservoir dates to 1941. The water surface sits about 6,768 ft above sea level.

We have not matched Lake Crowley to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height. At about 6,768 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.
