Water temperature and wetsuits at 2026 Bonney Lake Triathlon

Around August 30, Lake Tapps typically runs about 69°F at the surface (67 to 71°F across 2011 to 2020). Wetsuits were legal every year at this date.

A model estimate from the USGS lake temperature model (daily surface temperatures for US lakes), not a measurement. Wetsuit cutoffs are USA Triathlon age-group rules. The race's own water temperature reading on race morning decides.
