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
Wolfe’s Pond lies within Wolfe’s Pond Park on Staten Island, New York, adjacent to Raritan Bay and set in a mix of coastal marsh and shallow pond habitat. Because the pond and nearby bay are relatively shallow and influenced by tidal exchange, water temperatures can change quickly with weather, season and time of day. Typical winter surface temperatures often hover around 0–4 °C, warming in spring to roughly 5–12 °C. By late spring and early summer surface readings commonly reach 12–20 °C, and in the warmest part of summer temperatures near the shore can climb to about 20–26 °C. In autumn the water cools back through the teens to around 10–18 °C before dropping for winter. These ranges are approximate and will vary with local conditions, freshwater runoff and atmospheric temperatures.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach visits at Wolfe’s Pond are primarily seasonal, with the most comfortable conditions for bathing occurring when surface temperatures are in the low twenties °C, typically mid to late summer. The park and its shoreline attract people for beachgoing, wading and casual swimming when weather permits, but visitors should be aware that currents, tide influence and occasional water-quality advisories can restrict safe swimming. Shallow waters near the shore warm fastest but also cool rapidly outside peak summer, so swimmers should check current conditions, any posted advisories and presence of lifeguards where applicable, and use caution with children and less experienced swimmers.
