West Palm Beach Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 25, 2026 · dates · water temp
West Palm Beach runs a twelve-month pool calendar — the model finds no week cold enough to force a closing. This page tracks the water-temperature curve and the prime-season stretch; the spring refresh and winter care guides cover the routines that replace opening and closing here. Keep it bookmarked as the between-guides dashboard for the year.
West Palm Beach, FL — 235 swim days a yearEach dot is one week of West Palm Beach's year, and here they're all solid teal — the model finds no off-season to draw. What varies instead is comfort: the water table below shows the seasonal range from 66°F to 83°F, and the today marker tells you where in that cycle you're standing. Maintenance follows the same curve — heavier through the 235-day prime stretch, lighter but never zero through winter.

Estimated water temperature by month
This is West Palm Beach'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 67° | 67° | 70° | 73° | 77° | 80° | 82° | 83° | 83° | 81° | 76° | 71° |
Warmest water typically June–October (peaking near 83°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
Every station tells its own story: compare this curve with Wesley Chapel's pool season and Weston's — neighboring normals stations can shift the windows by a week or more. The full ranking lives on the Florida season index.
