Lake water temperature?

meredith weekender · 02-25-2016, 10:12 AM

Lakeport Dam is reporting todays water temp at 37 degrees which is obviously a huge reflection on last nights heavy rains. The reported temp a few days ago was 34 degrees which was a temp not hit last year until the first week of April. Thinking were going to see a March iceout, bring on Boating season.

Lakeport is reporting 37 degrees again today (02/26/2016).

The raw, cool, weather pattern caused the water temp reading on my sensor to stall at 47-48 degrees for the the past few weeks. In the past 24 hours it's gone from 48 to 53! Not really a surprise as the 48 reading was uniform throughout several depths so all that was needed was air temp above the water temps, and some solar gain to get it to pop.

Any readings on Winni in the past day?

The water temperature at our dock on East Bear Island on Mother's Day was 51 degrees. 🐻

Surface temp has gone up almost 5 degrees in the past 3 days. It's 55 at Trexler's Marina. I only started collecting data to graph a couple days ago, but Tuesday afternoon it was almost 51 degrees at 1 Ft and 49 degrees at 3 Ft.

52° over open deep water this morning...

Merrymeeting · 05-14-2016, 07:24 AM

My sensor is mounted under my dock, about 1' over the water. The attached probe is below, about 3' deep, in an area that is about 5' deep overall.

The green line is the water temp, red is air temp (again, just above the water in the shade)

Here's my data for the past week. Water temp has risen substantially over the past few days and now showing the normal upward trend for this time of year.

Good info, Merrymeeting. Well done.

Trexler's marina just added air and water temperature graphs: http://www.trexlers.com/lake-winnipe...live-feed.html

Should stay consistently over 60 after today, and I'm guessing at least 65 by the weekend. Time to get out the bathing suits! (again, green line is water temp. Strong variations early in the week were due to high winds churning the water)

Although not accurate, and only measures the Temp just below the hull .... the Trexler Temp's seem to align with what we were reading off our boat gauge this past weekend. We were picking off between 57 - 59 depending where we were on the lake as the water Temp.

57 degrees three feet down at our dock on East Bear Island last Saturday. 🐻
