Weather Sites and Apps

Picture
DCLSA WEATHER STATION
Ray Gauthier set up a new weather console in 2026 (the old one has been relocated to the sailing classroom). The wind, temperature and rain sensors are at the shore end of the dock. We can all view details via a free app which has realtime wind, ten-minute wind average, and 24-hour wind history.
  • Download the Davis WeatherLink app onto your device (from Google Play or App Store),
  • Create an account (it defaults to Log In screen, but you need to Sign Up and verify email, and you do not need to add your photo or allow location services),
  • Search for "DCLSA Weather"
The Davis WeatherLink app icon is shown here. There is a different app called Davis Mobilize -- don't use that one.
Click here for Davis WeatherLink Information (including a video showing what the app does)

Deep Creek Lake Sailing Association
204 Yacht Club Road
(off of Turkey Neck Road)
​Swanton, MD 21561

Picture
 Please note that it is very important to have this address (204 Yacht Club Rd., off of Turkey Neck) handy in case of emergency.  
When dialing 911 for help at the club, make sure you mention that we are ​the Sailing Club off of Turkey Neck Road to prevent EMS from going to the wrong club.  It may also help to note that they will pass both Ezra Savage Road and Skipjack Lane before arriving at Yacht Club Road.
43880A and 43880B are the club's dock numbers, in case of an emergency on the water. 9-1-1 can alert DNR water dispatch.

If you know of any corrections needed on this page, please contact the site administrator with updates.  Thank you!
