Are We Renting?

Lake Union Conditions

*Subject to Change

April 2025
It looks like warmer, sunny weather is coming!
Paddleboarders are required to wear a provided wetsuit at no charge with current water temperatures.
 

We reserve the right to stop renting if conditions on the lake are not suitable for beginners at our discretion.

If the weather looks iffy it's best to call ahead to see if we are renting.

  • Last call is 90 minutes before sunset or close, whichever is EARLIER

  • We shut down rentals if it's windy (sustained winds of 12mph or more, gusts of 20mph or more). For SUPs we may stop renting if the forecast calls for sustained winds over 10mph. It's not foolproof, but if there is a small craft advisory issued for the Seattle area it is likely we won't be renting.

  • We will close for rentals if there is lightning (minimum 30 minute wait period).

  • We close for rentals for cold temps (below 40° for most of the day).
