Experience?
Boat chop in the area is mostly from Buoy #1 to the town docks and channel entrance. As you go north to Meredith, it dissipates and becomes more unidirectional. Prevailing wind is from the Northwest. Heading out from the Winnipesaukee Pier and going to Maiden Lady Cove, there are two black spars that would keep boats off shore. Draft for an airplane is very shallow and they can, perhaps, stay inside the buoys. The more wind, the fewer recreational boats are on the water, and take-off and landing distances headed NW are reduced.
In my mind, anybody with experience has looked at all these issues in far more detail than the posters on this site. Having said that, I have to agree that this location can be very congested, and more than most places on Winnipesaukee, has a higher concentration of inexperienced and rental boat captains than other areas.
