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 McQueeney, a reservoir on the Guadalupe River in central Texas, exhibits seasonal surface temperatures typical of warm, shallow reservoirs. In summer months water commonly ranges from about 75 to 90°F (24 to 32°C), warming fastest at the surface on calm sunny days. Spring and fall temperatures more often sit between roughly 60 and 75°F (16 to 24°C), while winter surface readings frequently fall to around 45 to 60°F (7 to 16°C), with occasional colder dips after strong cold fronts. Actual temperatures vary by depth, recent weather, inflows from the river and local runoff; shallow bays warm and cool faster than deeper channels.
Swimming in Lake McQueeney is a common recreational activity and generally permitted in much of the reservoir because it is used for public recreation, boating and fishing. There are, however, practical and safety considerations: there are no lifeguards at most access points, some shoreline is privately owned or subject to local restrictions, and hazards such as submerged structures, boat traffic, strong currents near the dam and occasional algal or bacterial advisories can limit safe swimming. Visitors are advised to check local conditions and water-quality notices before entering the water and to choose well-marked, less-trafficked areas for swimming.
