*** 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
Moon Lake in Mississippi typically follows the seasonal pattern common to shallow southern lakes. Surface temperatures in winter often sit between about 40–55°F (4–13°C), warming through spring to roughly 50–70°F (10–21°C). By summer, surface readings frequently climb into the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, about 24–30°C, especially on sunny, calm days, while fall brings a gradual cooling back toward the spring range. Deeper water and shaded coves will remain cooler than exposed shallows, and short-term swings can occur after cold fronts or heat waves, so any single measurement may differ from these broad seasonal ranges.
Swimming at Moon Lake is generally possible, but it is governed by local access, posted rules, and current water conditions. Many people swim there in warm months when surface temperatures are most comfortable, but visitors should check for advisories about water quality, algae blooms, or unsafe currents, and be aware that lifeguards are often not provided. Cooler seasons present greater risk of cold-water shock and hypothermia once temperatures drop below about 60°F (15–16°C), so recreational swimming is most common and safest in the warmer late spring through early fall period when temperatures approach the mid-70s°F (mid-20s°C).
