*** 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

Summer brings the warmest conditions, with surface temperatures often between roughly 68–78°F (20–26°C) in July and August, though shallow, sheltered bays can warm a few degrees higher on hot days. By autumn the water cools back toward about 50–65°F (10–18°C), and in winter the lake typically approaches freezing; surface temperatures commonly sit near 32°F (0°C) where ice forms, or a few degrees above freezing in open water.

Swimming is generally allowed at public access points around Mona Lake and at local parks during the warm months, and these areas are used for recreational swimming when conditions are safe. Municipal authorities or health departments periodically monitor water quality, so beaches may be closed temporarily for bacterial contamination or harmful algal blooms. Boaters and channel currents can create localized hazards, so swimmers are advised to use designated beach areas, heed posted advisories, and be mindful of cold-water shock early and late in the season.
