[...] This results in large seas on the east side of the lake in west and northwest winds and on the west side of the lake in east and southeast winds. [...] The east basin of the lake has a maximum depth of about 20.5 m and the west basin, about 15.5 m, with a mean overall depth of 11.4 m. In the east basin, the lake bottom has a steep slope along the north, west, and south shores and a more gradual slope along the far east shore, near the town of Slave Lake. [...] The lake is shallow on the Alberta side, with the average depth west of Bustard Island only around 2.5 m. In the much deeper waters in the middle of the lake, moderate to strong winds can generate large, rolling waves that eventually (if winds are from the North/Northeast/East direction) steepen and break into short, choppy waves as they approach the shallows at its western end.
