*** 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
Squaw Creek Reservoir’s surface temperatures vary with the seasons and local weather, and shallow areas warm faster than deeper pockets. In a typical year on a Texas reservoir of this size, winter surface temperatures often sit around 40–55°F (4–13°C), rising through spring to roughly 60–75°F (16–24°C). Summer temperatures commonly peak between about 75–90°F (24–32°C) in warm spells, especially in shallows, while autumn cools back toward the spring range as air temperatures decline. These ranges can shift with drought, heavy rain, wind, and the reservoir’s depth; early-morning and deep-water readings will generally be cooler than afternoon surface readings.
Swimming at Squaw Creek Reservoir is generally subject to local management and water-quality conditions; many reservoirs in the region permit swimming in designated areas when authorities judge it safe. Restrictions may be in place because the reservoir can serve multiple uses — such as a water supply, fishing, and boating — and because of factors like strong currents near inlets, submerged hazards, algal blooms, or limited lifeguard coverage. Before entering the water it’s advisable to check posted rules and recent water-quality advisories, enter only in approved spots, and be mindful that temperature changes between surface and depth can affect comfort and safety.
