Augusta Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Augusta pool. The season bar below draws everything the model knows — opening window, prime season, closing window — against today's date, with the working details one click away on the opening and closing pages.
The bar compresses Augusta's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the March 11–April 1 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends November 2. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.
The Augusta pool calendar
Opening — target March 18
Target March 18; the practical window runs March 11–April 1, and the 7-day mean crosses the 61°F threshold around April 1. Cold-water starts are the cheap ones.
Closing — deadline November 2
The window opens October 29 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 2, a week ahead of the November 9 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Augusta'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48° | 49° | 54° | 61° | 69° | 77° | 82° | 83° | 79° | 71° | 60° | 52° |
Warmest water typically July–September (peaking near 83°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
