*** 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
#North Yorkshire
Cod Beck Reservoir, in North Yorkshire, typically has cool water year-round. Seasonal surface temperatures often range from around 2–6°C (36–43°F) in winter, 6–12°C (43–54°F) in spring, 14–20°C (57–68°F) in summer, and 8–14°C (46–57°F) in autumn. Even at the height of summer the reservoir can feel chilly because of depth, limited sunlight and steady inflow from the catchment, and conditions can change quickly after heavy rain.
Swimming at Cod Beck is generally not permitted because the site is linked to public water supply and carries safety risks such as steep banks, submerged hazards and the danger of cold-water shock. While some people choose to wild swim in local rivers, entering the reservoir is discouraged and may be restricted by local rules and signage. Visitors can instead enjoy nearby attractions, including walking and wildlife watching across the North York Moors, the dramatic views at Sutton Bank, and the village amenities and trails around Osmotherley and Thirsk.
