Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

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
Pat Mayse Lake, a shallow reservoir in northeast Texas, experiences notable seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter months the surface often ranges from about 40–55°F (4–13°C), which is generally too cold for comfortable swimming. Spring warms fairly quickly, with surface temperatures commonly from roughly 55–75°F (13–24°C) as ambient air heats and runoff stabilizes. Peak summer conditions can push surface waters into the mid-70s to around 90°F (24–32°C) on hot, sunny days, especially in shallower coves; late summer highs near 90°F (32°C) are not unusual. In fall the lake cools back into the 60–80°F (16–27°C) range as air temperatures moderate. Subsurface temperatures will lag surface changes and can be cooler.
Swimming at Pat Mayse Lake is generally allowed because the reservoir is a public recreational resource used for boating, fishing and shore activities, but there are few formal guarded beaches and lifeguards are typically not provided. Visitors should obey posted rules, be mindful of changing water levels, underwater hazards and boat traffic, and heed any local water-quality advisories such as algal bloom warnings. For comfortable and safe swimming pick warmer late-spring to early-fall periods when surface temperatures are in the mid-70s°F (mid-20s°C) or higher, and always take standard water-safety precautions.
