Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Lake Alan Henry’s surface water temperatures change noticeably with the seasons because it is a shallow reservoir on the Texas South Plains. In winter the lake often cools to roughly 40–55°F (4–13°C). Spring brings a steady rise, commonly putting surface temperatures in the 50–70°F (10–21°C) band as air warms and sunlight increases. In summer the water typically becomes warmest, frequently reaching about 75–90°F (24–32°C) on hot afternoons, while early fall sees a gradual decline into the 60–75°F (15–24°C) range. Local weather, wind, and recent inflows can shift these figures somewhat from year to year, and shallow bays warm and cool faster than deeper parts of the reservoir.
Swimming at Lake Alan Henry is possible and is generally practiced, but it is subject to local rules, safety considerations, and changing conditions. There are no widespread public beaches with lifeguards, so swimming is usually done at one’s own risk in permitted areas. Fluctuating water levels, underwater hazards such as rocks and submerged structures, boat traffic, and occasional water-quality advisories can affect safety, and very cold or very warm temperatures increase risks like cold shock or heat-related stress. Visitors should check current conditions and follow posted regulations before entering the water.
