*** 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 Kemp, a reservoir in north-central Texas, experiences the broad seasonal swings in surface water temperature typical of the region. Winter surface temperatures commonly fall into the 40–55 °F (4–13 °C) range, while spring and autumn are transitional months with surface readings usually between 55–75 °F (13–24 °C). In summer the shallows often warm to about 75–90 °F (24–32 °C), with the warmest surface conditions occurring in July and August. Temperatures vary with depth, time of day and recent weather: mornings and deeper water remain cooler, while heat waves and low inflows push surface readings higher.

Swimming in Lake Kemp is possible and is practiced by visitors during the warmer months when surface temperatures are comfortable, generally above roughly 70 °F (21 °C). There are no extensive public beaches with lifeguards, and shoreline access can be limited by private property or boat ramps, so conditions and access points differ. Safety considerations—strong sun exposure, submerged vegetation and drop-offs, boat traffic, and occasional algal or bacterial advisories—mean swimmers should check local notices and avoid swimming during advisories. In short, swimming is allowed in practice, especially in summer, but visitors should verify current water quality and obey posted rules for safe use.
