Sunnyvale Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
Sunnyvale's whole pool calendar, condensed: when the water warms, when it cools, and where today falls between those edges. Use the opening guide and closing guide for the step-by-step work; keep this page for the dates.
Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is Sunnyvale's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (April 16 to May 7) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 7 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The Sunnyvale pool calendar
Opening — target April 23
Open by April 23 — a two-week head start on the May 7 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 7
Hold the cover until October 28, then winterize by November 7, a week ahead of the December 23 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Sunnyvale's typical-year water curve: the same EWMA model as the live widget, run on the 1991–2020 normals instead of this week's weather.
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50° | 52° | 55° | 57° | 60° | 64° | 67° | 68° | 68° | 66° | 60° | 52° |
The curve peaks near 68°F — comfortable-water months here usually involve a heater or a solar cover.
