*** 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 Ray Hubbard’s surface water temperatures vary with the seasons and local weather. Typical seasonal ranges are roughly: winter about 40–55°F (4–13°C), spring about 55–75°F (13–24°C), summer about 75–90°F (24–32°C) and early fall about 60–75°F (16–24°C). These are approximate surface values and can change with cold snaps, heat waves, depth, and inflows from creeks or reservoir operations. Shallow coves warm more quickly in spring and can reach the upper end of the range in summer, while deeper channels and areas near releases stay cooler. Short-term events such as storms or algal blooms also affect temperature and perceived comfort for swimming.
There are no widely managed, lifeguarded public swim beaches on Lake Ray Hubbard, so swimming is not formally promoted by authorities and is generally undertaken at an individual’s own risk. Factors behind this stance include heavy recreational boat traffic, variable water quality and occasional algal or bacterial advisories, submerged hazards and sudden depth changes. Because of those safety and water-quality concerns, many local agencies advise caution and recommend checking park rules and current advisories before entering the water.
