*** 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
Newburgh Lake in Michigan typically follows the temperature patterns of small inland lakes in the region. In winter the surface often approaches freezing, around 32–40°F (0–4°C) under ice, while early spring waters warm to roughly 40–60°F (4–16°C) as ice melts and runoff cools the lake. By late spring and into summer, surface temperatures commonly rise to about 65–75°F (18–24°C), with shallow bays sometimes reaching 75–80°F (24–27°C) on hot, calm days. In autumn the lake cools again, typically settling between about 45–60°F (7–16°C) before refreezing in colder months. Stratification and local weather cause variation from year to year and between shallow and deep areas.
Swimming is generally possible and commonly done during the warmer months when surface temperatures are within the comfortable summer range, but access and rules depend on public beaches, private property, and township regulations. Water quality advisories, blue-green algae blooms, and cold-water safety are important considerations; temperatures below roughly 60°F (16°C) can feel chilly and increase risk of cramps or cold shock, and near-freezing conditions under ice are hazardous. Visitors should check local notices, use designated swimming areas when available, and exercise standard water-safety precautions.
