giltner68 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 You want to know about currents, or for that matter, anything about the lake, find Dr. Stong, he's researched the lake for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Todd Stong had a map showing the current in relation to where he took water samples and the sewer plants around the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Yesterday the lake was at 96.49M. My records show that back in 2008 was the previous high point at 96.72M. So, that's only about 9" short and with heavy rains from Willa you may see a new high, at least since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traderspoc Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Took ride in Batar boat, captains depth finder, showed lake shallow, Chapala 10 feet deep, Ajijic 15 feet that now the water would be about 20 feet deep middle near Ajijic and 15 deep near middle of Chapala. he had to use raft to get person on board his boat in Chapala a few years ago. The captain said he likes to keep the boat near San Juan Cosala because the water there is much deeper. 25 feet about now near Mezcala island its about 25 around the island and abput 40 feet deep near middle now I went with Todd strong to measure the water to Mezcala Island for his fish farm, back then it was about 18 feet round island, one or two place 22 feet. now much higher today. shallow lake that why the waves can get over 3 1/2 feet high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Took my daily walk today across the footbridge in front of my house from Jesus Garcia to the malecon in San Antonio and the water at the western side was only a few inches from flooding the bridge there. The bridge was not built when I moved here in 2008 but it looks like the water is about as high as it was them, which is the highest I have seen since. Yes, it has been much higher as I can attest, such as in the mid 70's during my very first excursion to Chapala, when the pier was under water and the old (then abandoned) railroad station was flooded. I hope that it does not get higher since I will have to change my daily walk to a less scenic route as the footbridge will be underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
