This is a good resource:

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/gyx/lakefore...nipesaukee.php

You can click on different locations to get more info (wind, waves, temp, etc).

Enjoy!

I'm getting 46 on my water temp probe installed this week too, which usually tracks the Lakeport numbers closely. The water temp numbers on this site seem to be very different. Time lag? Deeper water?

This data is a bit old, but last Saturday (5/3), I did water quality sampling in the NE quadrant of the lake for UNH. Part of the job is measuring the temperature on the surface and at each half meter down. Across five sites, the temperature at 1/2 meter (or 1.5 feet) ranged from 47 to 52 degrees. Bottom temperatures ranged from 42 to 45 degrees. The thermocline varied from 8 to 11 feet.

Interesting. Why would the NOAA site have such a variance across the whole lake compared to these readings ? Do you know the depth the NOAA is measuring at ?

Even today they have the temps around 43-45 ?

Lakeport has 49 degrees this morning. Should see bass in the flats any time now.

The water temperature at East Bear Island on Mother's Day was 50 degrees. Saw the Mount cruise by two times on Sunday. Great to see her again!!!

The lakeport Dam is reporting 52 degrees today. Getting there, slow but sure.

Is the probe down/broken? If so I'd be interested I contributing to help get it fixed as we love having that info for scuba diving!

I just read on facebook that there was a death in the family a month ago and that they haven't been there to maintain it. The weather station is slowly coming back on line.

Oh my. Sad news indeed. Thoughts and prayers!

56 yesterday for lake temp at Lakeport. Last year at this time we were 61. Averaging out.

polarisman14 · 05-27-2014, 02:07 PM

My buddy and I were out and about on Sunday starting around 10am and ending around 6pm. Water temp in the morning started off at 60 degrees and topped out later on in the day at 64. This was picked up off the thru-hull transducer on his Sea Ray Sundeck so it was a good foot or two below the surface. Slowly but surely.

Barney Bear · 05-28-2014, 10:20 AM

The water temperature at our place on East Bear Island on Memorial Day was 60 degrees, an increase of 10 degrees from the previous week.

I went for a quick swim this past weekend...brrrrrrr. But the kids on the other hand, the water might as well have been in the 70's as they played in it for much longer then any of the adults could even bear to stand in it...

scubajay1153 · 05-31-2014, 05:10 PM

Today's temperature gleaned from the Weirs FD rescue boat was 61.7 @ surface. Have a Great day!
