Recent Lake Rawlings Temps

Anyone have any recent Lake Rawlings temps?

I was there last weekend and I got mid 80's down to about 25 ft, high 60's from there down to about 40-45 ft and at the plane I got a reading of 59. I'm sure if I would have stayed down there a bit longer it would have dropped a little more.

Headed there this weekend. How bad is the thermocline? I'll prob be bringing a 3/2 full, 2mm shorty, 5mm hood. Hope that's enough..

You'll need gloves to get below the thermocline.

I've got a set of 2mm warm water gloves, do you think that will be enough?

It will depend on how resistant you are to the cold. If you chill easily I would recommend renting a 7 mil from the lake. Only costs a few bucks and would make for some more comfy dives off the rock wall. If you don't just descend a little slower to allow your body to adjust to the cold and you may be able to spend a few minutes below 45 feet.
