*** 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
Lac de la Savane, located in a forested or protected area in Quebec, is typical of deep, northern lakes, which are slow to warm but can offer refreshing summer dips. While specific data is limited, lakes in the Laurentian region generally experience a comfortable seasonal warming trend. In the peak summer months, surface water temperatures likely peak in the range of 18∘C to 22∘C (64∘F to 72∘F), with the shallow areas warming faster. In the winter, the water cools dramatically, dropping to the range of 0∘C to 5∘C (32∘F to 41∘F), leading to a complete freeze-over.
Swimming is generally permitted at Lac de la Savane, especially if it is located within a provincial park or zec (controlled harvesting zone) that promotes recreational use. However, like most natural lakes in Quebec's wilderness areas, it is almost certain that the swimming areas are unsupervised, meaning there are no official lifeguards on duty. Therefore, all swimming is strictly at one's own risk. Swimmers must be cautious of the cold temperatures, which still pose a risk of cold shock, and be mindful of sudden depth changes, as these lakes often have natural, steep drop-offs into deep water.
