*** 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 Worth in Palm Beach County experiences relatively mild water temperatures compared with much of the continental United States because of its subtropical location. Typical surface temperatures in the lagoon and nearby coastal waters range from roughly 63–72°F (17–22°C) in winter, climbing to about 70–80°F (21–27°C) in spring. Summer brings the warmest conditions, often 79–88°F (26–31°C), and autumn usually falls between 75–84°F (24–29°C) as Gulf Stream influence and local weather moderate cooling. Local conditions can vary day to day with tides, rainfall, and wind, and shallow areas heat and cool faster than deeper channels.
Swimming is generally allowed in the Lake Worth area, particularly at designated public beaches along the Atlantic shore where lifeguards and posted advisories guide safe use, but open swimming in the lagoon itself is less common. Reasons include variable water quality after heavy rains, occasional algal or bacterial advisories, strong boat traffic, and shallow, murky spots that reduce visibility. For those who want to swim, following local advisories, using monitored beach areas, and avoiding swimming after storms helps reduce risks. Lifeguard presence, posted water-quality notices, and marina locations are useful indicators of where swimming is most appropriate.
