*** 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 Ming, a small reservoir in Kern County’s Bakersfield area, experiences typical Central Valley seasonal water temperatures. In winter the surface water commonly falls into the mid-40s to mid-50s °F (about 7–13 °C). Spring sees a gradual rise, often into the upper 50s to mid-60s °F (14–18 °C). During peak summer the surface can warm considerably, frequently reaching the mid-70s to low 80s °F (24–28 °C) on warm, still days, while early fall temperatures generally cool back toward the 60s–70s °F range (15–24 °C). These figures are approximate and vary with air temperature, wind, depth, and recent inflows; deeper or shaded areas remain cooler.
Swimming at Lake Ming is generally not permitted as part of the site’s safety and usage rules. The reservoir is managed primarily for boating, fishing, rowing, and model-boat activities, and the presence of motorized and non-motorized craft, limited lifeguarding, and county regulations create safety concerns that lead to the prohibition. Visitors seeking water recreation are advised to use designated boating and fishing areas and to follow posted rules; for swimming, public pools or beaches with appropriate supervision and facilities are safer and comply with local regulations.
