Default Water Temps

So what is the water temp in your boating area?

For us, 72 F with the temp taken at the bottom of the Lake (40 or so feet) 1
mile off Cleveland (the western basin of Lake Erie is a shallow).

The water temp will climb to the mid 70's some time in August then begin to
start backing down.


Check out this psychedelic water temp map.... :-)

Those colors are pretty intense by any standard.

We're a bit colder in Puget Sound than offshore in the North Pacific.
Less direct influence from the tropical currents. Water temperature
most of the year is in the high-40's to low-50's.
