Water temperature and wetsuits at Chisago Lakes Triathlon
Around July 24, Chisago Lake typically runs about 79°F at the surface (76 to 82°F across 2011 to 2020). The water usually runs above 78°F at this date: wetsuits are allowed but make you ineligible for age-group awards.
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.
