*** 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 Goodwin’s surface water temperatures vary noticeably through the year. In winter the lake typically chills to roughly 40–45°F (4–7°C), remaining quite cold for most outdoor activity. Spring temperatures commonly climb into the mid-40s to around 60°F (7–16°C) as air and solar warming increase. During summer the surface often reaches its warmest, commonly in the mid-60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit (about 18–24°C), especially on sunny, calm stretches; deeper water stays considerably cooler. In autumn the surface cools back toward the 50–65°F range (10–18°C) as days shorten and winds mix the water. Local weather, recent rainfall and depth of the water column can make these values fluctuate year to year.
Swimming at Lake Goodwin is generally allowed and the lake is used for recreational swimming, boating and water play, particularly when surface temperatures are highest in summer. Access includes public beaches and private shoreline areas, though conditions may change: there are occasional advisories for water quality or algal blooms, and most sites do not have lifeguards, so swimmers should check current local notices, use caution in cold or variable temperatures, and be mindful of depth, currents and sudden changes in water temperature.
