Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Laverty Falls, located within Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, is a popular hiking destination featuring a stunning waterfall that feeds into the Broad River system. As the water is sourced from the park's interior, it remains significantly cold due to the forested, high-elevation environment. In the peak summer months, the water temperature in the pool at the base of the falls is generally quite frigid, likely peaking around 16∘C to 19∘C (61F to 66∘F). This makes any dip extremely refreshing but short-lived. In the winter, the water temperature drops close to freezing, typically ranging from 0∘C to 5∘C (32∘F to 41∘F), with ice formation.
Swimming is permitted and is a popular, yet challenging activity at Laverty Falls, particularly in the deep pool at the bottom of the 12-meter drop. Visitors often brave the cold water to cool off after the challenging hike, confirming it is an expected use of the area. However, Parks Canada does not provide official lifeguards at the falls or any of the river swimming holes, meaning all swimming is strictly at one's own risk. Swimmers must be cautious of the slick, rocky surfaces near the falls, the deep, cold pool, and the possibility of swift currents, especially during high water flow from spring runoff or heavy rainfall.
