Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating.

It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

Annual Water Temperature Trend

Lighthouse Point is a small coastal city in southeastern Florida located on the Intracoastal Waterway just west of the Atlantic Ocean, benefiting from the warm influence of the Gulf Stream. That maritime setting keeps sea temperatures relatively mild year‑round. Seasonal averages typically range from about 22–24 °C in winter (December–February), rising to roughly 24–26 °C in spring (March–May). Summer months (June–August) are usually the warmest, with water commonly between 27–30 °C, and early autumn (September–November) often remaining warm at approximately 25–29 °C. Occasionally short cold snaps can push temperatures down toward the lower 20s °C, but prolonged cold is uncommon compared with more northern U.S. coastlines.
