Woodbury Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Woodbury 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.
Each dot on the bar is one week of Woodbury's typical year, colored by what the model says that week is for: gray weeks are off-season, hollow teal marks the opening window (May 3–May 24), solid teal is swim season, and hollow amber is the closing window ending September 28. The black marker is today — its position against the colors is the entire executive summary.
The Woodbury pool calendar
Opening — target May 10
Open by May 10 — a two-week head start on the May 24 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline September 28
Hold the cover until September 18, then winterize by September 28, a week ahead of the October 12 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Woodbury's own normals — the shape of a typical year, not a forecast. The widget above shows where the current year actually sits.
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18° | 16° | 26° | 40° | 53° | 64° | 71° | 72° | 67° | 55° | 41° | 27° |
The curve peaks near 72°F — comfortable-water months here usually involve a heater or a solar cover.
