Hey Richi
Alta Lake gets afternoon thermals so I always take my big board and usually rig a 5.3 for the gusts. I haven't foiled there though, just regular fin sailing. 100+ m planing runs then turn around and come back. The wind tends to swirl sometimes and come from various directions. Never sailed Green Lake but it may be worth checking out, especially with your foil.
