The correct water temperature at the surface is now 65-degrees. While the water temp page info says it is now 68, as reported by the DES at Lakeport Dam, the correct temp taken with my very accurate Intex floating mercury water thermometer, available for $2.95 at Rand's Hdwe in Plymouth is 65.
65-degrees is swimmable on a sunny, warm day, if you use a wet suit sleeveless top, wet suit shorts, and a wet suit head cap. The head cap really does a lot to keep the heat in, probably is more effective for staying warm than the top and bottom, all three items together make it doable in 65-degree water.
Finis monofin: got this fin for both feet called a monofin, about $45 and worth it, that changes the dynamics of swimming with both feet in one fin.....is definitely a different swim stroke.... sort of turns you into a fish that wiggles through the water.
