*** 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
Okhissa Lake, a small reservoir in southwestern Mississippi, behaves like many shallow southern lakes in temperature through the year. Surface temperatures in winter commonly range from about 45–60°F (7–16°C), rising in spring to roughly 60–75°F (16–24°C) as air temperatures warm. In summer the lake often reaches 75–90°F (24–32°C) and can edge above 90°F (32°C) in shallow, sheltered coves on hot spells. During fall the water tends to cool back toward the 60–75°F (16–24°C) window. Local factors such as recent rainfall, wind, depth, and inflow from tributaries can shift these values, so actual conditions can vary day to day.
Swimming at Okhissa Lake is generally a recreational activity practiced by visitors, but it is not typically provided with formal lifeguard supervision or extensive developed beach facilities. Whether swimming is allowed in specific spots can depend on posted rules, seasonal maintenance, or temporary water-quality advisories; managers may restrict access for safety reasons such as submerged hazards, strong currents near inlets or outlets, boat traffic, or elevated bacteria after storms. Visitors planning to swim should check on-site signage or local guidance, be mindful of water temperature and conditions, and take basic safety precautions.
