Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 41°F (5°C) to 47°F (8°C). This water temperature is still quite low, and swimming in such conditions may only be comfortable for hardened individuals. It is recommended to limit the time spent in the water to avoid hypothermia. For those not accustomed to cold water, it is better to refrain from swimming. However, if you decide to enter the water, it is advisable to wear a warm wetsuit for protection against the cold. 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.

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
Beebe Lake in Minnesota follows the typical seasonal cycle of small northern lakes, with water temperatures that swing widely through the year. In winter the surface commonly sits at or just above freezing, about 32°F (0°C), often covered by ice for several months. Spring brings a fast, variable rise as snowmelt and cool air mix; temperatures commonly range from roughly 35–60°F (2–16°C) between March and May. By summer the lake reaches its warmest, with surface readings often in the neighborhood of 68–77°F (20–25°C) and occasionally climbing into the low 80s (27–28°C) in shallow, sheltered bays on hot, calm days. Fall cools similarly into the 50–60°F (10–16°C) band before ice-up returns.
Swimming opportunities at Beebe Lake are seasonal. Open-water swimming is normally practical and commonly permitted during the warm summer months when surface temperatures are comfortable for most swimmers, and when public access points or beaches are open; local ordinances or posted advisories can restrict access for safety or water-quality reasons, so checking current notices is important. Cooler spring and fall waters can present cold-shock and hypothermia risks—many people find conditions below about 60°F (15–16°C) uncomfortable and potentially hazardous—while winter ice cover effectively precludes conventional swimming except for organized, well-prepared ice-swim events with safety measures.
