*** 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
Kezar Pond in Maine experiences a wide range of water temperatures across the year. In spring the surface water usually runs cold, roughly 40–60°F (4–16°C) as snowmelt and cool air dominate. By summer, shallow areas warm to comfortable levels, commonly about 65–75°F (18–24°C) on warm afternoons, though deeper sections remain cooler. In early fall temperatures typically drop back to the 45–60°F range (7–16°C) as air cools and stratification breaks down. During winter the pond approaches freezing, around 32°F (0°C) at the surface once ice forms; below ice the water will be only slightly warmer. Local weather, recent rainfall, depth and shading from trees all influence exact readings, so day-to-day variation is common.
Swimming at Kezar Pond is generally possible and commonly done during the warm months because the pond’s shorelines and shallow zones reach temperatures comfortable for bathing. Public and private access points may have informal swimming areas; whether swimming is permitted in a specific spot depends on land ownership and posted rules, and water quality advisories can occasionally restrict use. Winter swimming is not advised due to ice cover and hypothermia risk. As always, swimmers should be mindful of sudden cold layers, supervise young or inexperienced swimmers, and heed local signage and safety guidance.
