Nate: You say you're willing to drive for Saturday wind. At this time, it looks like for Saturday....the best is Watertown, SD with base wind of 18 mph with

winds varying between 15 to 25 mph. But...that's 4 to 5 hours of driving from where you live. Thus,,,you might try (2.2 hours of drive) Clear Lake, IA which is forcasted to have 17 mph SE wind

with winds up and and down between 15 t0 25. Mankato area lakes may have this wind too..I haven't checked. Quite often the Mankato area winds are very similar to Clear Lake, Ia winds, (sometimes even better than Clear Lake, IA). For Mankato area: (1.3 hour drive) Madison Lake is very good for SE wind at the "North Beach" launch site. Madison Lake is good for W-NW wind at Brey Park on SE side of Lake.
Good luck Nate. I have to work on Saturday.
