In terms of water level, this summer is looking pretty grim for Clear Lake, and for much of California in general. As I write this, the lake is currently sitting at 0.48 FT on the Rumsey gauge, which is exceptionally low for this point in the water year (March). The lake typically loses around 3-4 feet over the summer from evaporation and draw-down, which means we could be at -3.0 FT or lower come Fall. The lowest that Clear Lake has ever been at the end of a water year is -3.39 FT.
