How about a water temperature thread?
 

Ok, it's march 2nd and it has been a bad winter. Many of us will be heading down south this spring for a little water time. I was wondering how difficult it would be to have a weekly or semi-weekly report on WW that would let us know what the water temps are at some of our favorite destinations.
If we could get reports from friends in Orlando, Tampa, Texas, etc. I think that would be great! We would need some volunteers to supply the info, but I'm sure that if I were there I would be happy to do so. Maybe Kat Laird in Orlando? :D What does everyone think?

Milton Fl water temp 52...It was 74 air when I went, not to bad. But we have one warm week then the next its freezing....come on spring!

Houston, Texas. Lake Houston and the river that feeds it is hovering around 50-52 right now. Very cold for this time of the year.

I think galveston bay waters are in the low 50's too.

Alabama = upper 50s at the moment

This is just going to depress me. There were 3 trucks driving on my home lake last weekend.

yea this winter has been extremely cold in my region, not good for the start of riding season...still hoping to get out in a week or two

Blacksburg, VA-38 deg

Im shocked that several FL locations are still in the 50s! Even low 50s...crazy

Ours be the look of it is no more than 32*

My lake is still Ice covered, but it should stay in the 50's this week during the day and just above freezing at night. We should see some melting by Sun. Hopefully we're in the home stretch and will not see any more prolonged freezes

VERY frozen still in Alberta.

at least 3 months till we are looking at some liquid

20" of ice here in NE

O man the ice just broke here in UT, to bad 75% of the lake is still frozen!

Sorry water temp: DAMN COLD

We're still frozen, but it did almost hit 60 today.

Still too cold for me.

Lake Harris (Central Florida) was 51 degrees this past weekend. Given most of the lakes around here are shallow, we should warm up pretty fast once the air temps consistently reach 70+ (hopefully that will be next week)!!

Lake Nacimiento in Central Cali is in the low to mid 50's

Frozen!

+1 on FROZEN!!!

Depressing nationwide. We'll be coming down to orlando 4/1. Hopefully things will be looking up by then. Kat, I knew you would chime in.

Between 52 and 57 on the delta here in NorCal. Trunked it the last 4 times i have been out

No idea about my lake (lavon, Northeast of Dallas). I have not rode since December because of all those weird snow we got! :mad:

But people around DFW said it's in low 50s.

Central Texas
Belton lake water temp 51

DFW Texas, Eagle Mountain was 45 degrees 2-28-10

Still in the 60's here in Orlando..

most lakes have a web site and if not most marinas do and they usualy keep the temps. up to date so check them out

Tx Mastercrafts private lake was 52 not last saturday but the saturday before.
Ray Hubbard outside of dallas was low 40s a month ago and I rode it.
Im going to try and ride this weekend too

mid 50's today at Canyon in So Cal. I was so pooped after my set today that I actually just stretched out and rested for a few minutes.

Sarasota, FL- Sarasota Bay Water Temp 58degrees, air temp 60's this week, warming up to low 70s on Sunday. Water Temp was up to about 63 last week, but another cold front came through again and it dropped back down to like 55, so it's on its way back up!

Columbia River, South Central Washington State - water temp around 43 and air temp in the 50's.

49 at ECWP in Greenville, North Carolina

Drilled a hole 16" deep and found water. My seven year old and her friend grabbed ski poles and tried to fish with it so I didn't get to check the temperature. I'm going to guess it was just about 32° :rolleyes:

Dave - where are you finding water that warm? I need to go there!

49 degrees in the foothills of Northern Cali, I wonder how long til the lake hits 60....

Oh, I think that was the water inside my wet suit,It did not last long:o

12" in NY

Charlotte NC
 

Lake Norman 43.9

43 at lake alan henry around lubbock tx :mad:

My pool was at 68 last week. Much too cold to go in.

Texoma 44 degrees

elsinore was 58 last week.

Here's where I go for water temps http://www.delawareriver.net/temp.php

lake austin low 50's much colder than this time last year. Think due to all the rain.

68 degrees with 52 water and a drysuit is money tho.
