Water temperature and wetsuits at TriWalloon

Around July 17, Walloon Lake typically runs about 75°F at the surface (70 to 79°F across 2011 to 2020). Wetsuits are usually legal, but in warmer years the water topped 78°F, when wearing one makes 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.
