Bend Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
Bend'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.
Each dot on the bar is one week of Bend's typical year, colored by what the model says that week is for: gray weeks are off-season, hollow teal marks the opening window (June 7–June 28), solid teal is swim season, and hollow amber is the closing window ending September 13. The black marker is today — its position against the colors is the entire executive summary.
The Bend pool calendar
Opening — target June 14
Open by June 14 — a two-week head start on the June 28 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline September 13
The window opens September 6 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is September 13, a week ahead of the September 20 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Bend'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 32° | 34° | 37° | 42° | 48° | 55° | 63° | 67° | 62° | 54° | 43° | 34° |
The curve peaks near 68°F — comfortable-water months here usually involve a heater or a solar cover.
