Myrtle Beach Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
This is the one-page view of Myrtle Beach's pool year: both model windows, the estimated water-temperature curve, and today's live position on the season bar. The detailed checklists live on the opening and closing guides; this page is the calendar you check between them.
Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is Myrtle Beach's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (March 26 to April 16) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 5 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The Myrtle Beach pool calendar
Opening — target April 2
Open by April 2 — a two-week head start on the April 16 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 5
The window opens October 26 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 5, a week ahead of the November 13 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Myrtle Beach'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 46° | 45° | 50° | 57° | 66° | 73° | 79° | 79° | 76° | 70° | 59° | 50° |
Warmest water typically July–August (peaking near 79°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
