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.

Killeen, Texas, is located in Central Texas and is home to several smaller lakes and creeks, although it is not known for large natural swimming areas. The city is situated near the Lampasas River, which passes through the region. However, the water temperature in the river typically stays relatively cool, ranging from 55°F to 70°F (13°C to 21°C), making it less ideal for swimming. The river is more commonly used for fishing and kayaking rather than recreational swimming due to its varying water quality and flow.
For swimming, Killeen residents often turn to man-made lakes and public pools. One of the more popular destinations for swimming is Stillhouse Hollow Lake, located just outside the city. During the summer months, the water temperature in Stillhouse Hollow Lake can reach around 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C), providing a comfortable environment for swimming and other water activities.
