✅ 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.

*** 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.

Location & Local Information
Dallas, Texas, is situated along the Trinity River, which runs through the heart of the city. While the river offers scenic views and opportunities for various recreational activities, swimming in the Trinity is not typically encouraged. The water temperatures in the river can vary depending on the season. During the summer months, the water may reach temperatures around 80°F to 90°F (27°C to 32°C), which can be warm enough for a refreshing dip, but the water quality is often not ideal for swimming due to pollution and occasional runoff from urban areas.
In the cooler months, the temperature of the river can drop to around 50°F to 60°F (10°C to 16°C), making swimming less desirable for most people. The Trinity River is primarily used for activities like kayaking, canoeing, and fishing rather than as a designated swimming spot. Although it flows through Dallas, local regulations and water conditions limit the opportunities for safe and pleasant swimming directly in the river. If you're looking for a place to swim, Dallas offers several pools and lakes with safer, cleaner water for such activities.
