with a ESE wind pushing AGAINST the flow of water from the spillway

Info pulled from the USGS Website: LINK
Here's an East wind:

And here's a Southeast wind:


Along the south shore, even with an east or southeast wind, the currents still move EAST along the shorelines. The middle of the lake is what's mostly affected by the wind but once it nears the shorelines, the currents "bounce" off them and reverse direction. In some spots along the shorelines the current can be moving as fast as .3 - .32ft/sec.

In both scenarios, you can see why the river water primariliy stays to the south shore and how even an easterly wind currents will still move in a eastward direction along the southern shoreline.
