Verified gage-height and water-temperature observations are not currently available for San Luis Reservoir in California. LakeRadar does not substitute modeled values.
Lake Wind Advisory issued October 9 at 9:37AM PDT until October 11 at 11:00PM PDT by NWS Hanford CA
Normal pool elevation benchmark for San Luis Reservoir
Water levels managed within seasonal conservation thresholds
Deepest basin sounding across ~12,700 acres
Comfortable (70–80°F) · Ideal swimming temperature
No active telemetry gauge is currently mapped to San Luis Reservoir. Not available from a verified source for this lake.

Historical daily time series not currently recorded for this monitoring station. Real-time continuous digital USGS sensors are prioritized for major floodway rivers.
Tributary runoff, precipitation, and snowmelt elevate the waterbody to its annual summer recreation pool.
Water levels remain stable for peak boating, public park ramps, sport angling, and shoreline swimming.
Regulated seasonal drawdowns or natural seasonal minimums occur to prepare for winter freeze-up and spring capacity.
No recent observation table entries recorded for this site. In-situ stage height is verified through annual bathymetric surveys and state environmental monitoring rather than continuous automated gauge feeds.
Current index calculated from verified local atmospheric, hydrographic & alert inputs.
Fair for swimming (67/100), from 5 available inputs. Supporting this: Measured water temperature 72°F from a representative gauge 19.6 mi away. Provisional data. Wind 0 mph from the west-northwest. Working against it: Active moderate alert: Lake Wind Advisory. Confidence is moderate (75%) because some inputs are unavailable or older than ideal.
Continuous In-Situ Telemetry Notice: Active continuous automated telemetry stations are not currently installed directly within San Luis Reservoir. Not available from a verified source for this lake.
Official vertical datum, navigational perimeter geometry, and bathymetric basin contours are cataloged from official hydrographic surveys conducted by California Department of Energy & Environmental Protection.
