In general Siksukr is right, the 400+ boats coming and going from MVYC, Silver Sands and the WYC do make Saunders bay pretty sloppy and the traffic hectic. But a few times a season when the wind blows straight down the broads, the area between Parker Island, Clay Point and south-east end of Rattlesnake has the biggest waves on the lake. I've had serious concern for my safety making that crossing on bad days.
I really can't imagine swimming from a boat in three foot waves. Three foot lake waves are breaking white caps and not the same as three foot ocean swells.
