Water Temperature in Cooper River: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

The Cooper River in South Carolina is a significant waterway known for its calm flow and historical surroundings. The water temperature varies throughout the year, offering different experiences depending on the season. During the summer months, from June to September, the water temperature ranges from 77°F to 86°F (25°C to 30°C), making it warm and inviting for recreational activities, including swimming in certain areas. However, swimming is typically more common in designated spots or during organized events to ensure safety due to boat traffic and varying depths.

In the cooler months, from November to March, the river’s water temperature drops to around 50°F to 65°F (10°C to 18°C). While these cooler temperatures are less ideal for casual swimming, the river remains a popular spot for boating, kayaking, and fishing. Spring and fall, with temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C), provide comfortable conditions for those who enjoy water-based activities without the summer heat.

Although swimming in the Cooper River is possible, it’s not the most common activity due to its use as a navigational route and the presence of wildlife. Those who want to swim typically do so at nearby lakes or designated recreational areas rather than directly in the river. For safety, always check for local guidelines and conditions before diving in.
