*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
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.
Water temperature data for this location is gathered from various sources, including buoys and satellite sea and ocean surface maps provided by the NOAA agency. We also incorporate data from local authorities in each specific location worldwide to ensure more accurate temperature readings.
Annual Water Temperature Overview by Month
Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Tulalip sits on the eastern shore of northern Puget Sound in Washington, where the local water temperatures are governed by tidal exchange, depth and seasonal air temperatures. Throughout the year the nearshore Puget Sound waters around Tulalip typically range from about 5–8 °C in the coldest winter months, warming to roughly 7–12 °C in spring. Summer brings the warmest conditions, with surface readings commonly between 12–18 °C on the warmest days in shallow, sheltered areas, while fall temperatures generally cool back to about 9–14 °C. Shallow bays and tidal flats warm more quickly on sunny days, whereas deeper channels and open-sound locations stay cooler; local weather and tidal conditions can produce significant short-term variation.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach recreation in the Tulalip area reflect those temperature patterns and the character of the shoreline. The coastline is a mix of slips, rock, and limited sandy stretches, so designated swimming spots are fewer than in more southerly coastal destinations; on warm summer days people seek out sheltered coves and beaches for brief dips, wading and shoreline play. Because water temperatures rarely reach what most consider comfortably warm, many visitors opt for shorter swims, wetsuits or swimming at heated pools and resort facilities nearby. Tidal currents, boat traffic and seasonal water-quality advisories can affect safety and enjoyment, so checking local conditions before entering the water is advisable.
