*** 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
Deer Point Lake, a reservoir in the Florida Panhandle near Panama City, experiences seasonal surface temperatures typical of coastal Northern Florida impoundments. In winter months temperatures commonly fall to roughly 50–60°F (10–16°C). Spring sees a rise to about 60–75°F (16–24°C) as air temperatures warm and solar heating increases. Summer surface readings often peak in the mid-70s to upper 80s°F, roughly 75–90°F (24–32°C), while autumn generally moderates to about 70–80°F (21–27°C). These are typical surface ranges; actual readings vary with recent weather, wind, depth, and inflows, and deeper water remains cooler year-round.
Swimming at Deer Point Lake is generally restricted because the reservoir serves as a municipal drinking-water supply and is managed to protect water quality and public safety. Restrictions help reduce contamination risks and also address hazards such as boat traffic, underwater structures, and lack of designated lifeguarded beaches. Recreational access tends to emphasize boating and fishing in permitted areas rather than unmanaged open-water swimming. For the latest rules and any designated sites or seasonal exceptions, check with local water authorities or county parks.
