Water temperature and wetsuits at Grand Haven Triathlon
Around July 11, the 230-acre lake nearest the race typically runs about 81°F at the surface (78 to 84°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; matched to the largest lake near the race's listed location, about 2.7 km away. Wetsuit cutoffs are USA Triathlon age-group rules. The race's own water temperature reading on race morning decides.
