Lake Texoma wind forecast
Hourly wind, gusts, and direction for the next 7 days with a small-craft sailing score for every hour — find the window, then rig for it.
How the score works. Every hour gets 0–10 points: full marks for sustained wind between 6 and 16 knots, with deductions for gust factors above 1.5× sustained wind, high rain probability (thunderstorm risk), and cold air that raises capsize stakes.
Lake wind is local. Thermal builds on sunny afternoons, katabatic draining at dusk, and channeling between hills all mean the modeled numbers can run a few knots either side of what you feel on the water — treat this as a planning tool, not a gospel.
Lake Texoma water level
Lake or reservoir elevation recorded at USGS gauge 334706096465800, refreshed every 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on the sensor.
Lake elevation history
Lake or reservoir elevation · USGS gauge 334706096465800
Reading the chart. This gauge reports absolute lake surface elevation in feet above its datum (typically NGVD29 or NAVD88). Sustained drops of more than a foot can expose shallow launch ramps and shoal areas.
Water levels respond to dam operations, irrigation drawdown, snowmelt, and recent rainfall. For launch decisions, combine the trend here with the wind forecast — low water plus strong wind makes steep, tired ramps.
Lake Texoma fishing
Solunar feeding windows and live water temperature from the USGS gauge, plus hour-by-hour fish activity for the next two days.

Reading the radar
- Blue→green→yellow→red = light → heavy precipitation. Green already means small-craft weather is building; red means get off the water.
- Drag the slider past “now” for RainViewer’s nowcast — a 30-minute radar extrapolation, handy for timing a last reach before the cell arrives.
- Radar is precipitation only: it will not show the clear-air gust fronts that precede thunderstorms. Combine with the hourly forecast rain-probability column.

Water level data comes from the USGS gauge above; wind is modeled for the lake’s coordinates by Open-Meteo. Always confirm conditions locally before launching — mountain lakes in particular can build afternoon winds fast.
