Shape and shoreline

calmest north-east — south-west

The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. Larger than 11 of the 12 waters nearby.

The wind builds its wave along the north-west — south-east axis — 2 mi of open water; along north-east — south-west there is only 0.6 mi. When it runs down the main axis, the calm water sits against the bank it blows from, while the wave and the silt go to the far one — and the fish follow them there to feed.
