*** 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
Greenbelt Reservoir in Texas experiences a wide seasonal swing in surface water temperatures. In summer months surface water commonly warms to roughly 80–90°F (27–32°C) and can briefly reach the low 90s°F (around 33–35°C) during heat waves. Spring and fall are transitional, with surface temperatures typically in the 60–80°F range (16–27°C). Winters bring the coolest conditions, with surface readings often falling to about 45–60°F (7–16°C). Like most reservoirs, Greenbelt stratifies in summer so deeper water remains noticeably cooler than the surface; temperatures vary with depth, season, and recent weather, so these ranges are approximate rather than fixed.
Swimming at Greenbelt Reservoir is generally allowed in designated public or park-managed areas but can be subject to local regulations and safety advisories. Managers may restrict swimming when water quality tests indicate elevated bacteria or harmful algal blooms, or when boating traffic or hazardous submerged structures present risks. Some areas provide marked swim zones and seasonal lifeguards while others allow only unguided entry, so visitors should observe on-site signage and current advisories. For comfort and safety, swimmers should consider the season, surface temperature, and any posted health or hazard notices before entering the water.
