Water Temperature in Riga Region: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities
Original name of the region: Riga
The Riga Region in Latvia has a coastline along the Gulf of Riga, a semi-enclosed part of the Baltic Sea that tends to have slightly warmer water temperatures compared to the open Baltic coast. During winter, sea temperatures drop to around 0°C to 2°C (32°F to 36°F), and ice can form along the shoreline, especially in more sheltered bays. Swimming is not possible in these conditions, but the frozen sea attracts ice skaters and winter walkers.
As spring arrives, the water slowly warms, reaching about 8°C to 12°C (46°F to 54°F) by late May. The warmest months, July and August, bring sea temperatures of around 17°C to 21°C (63°F to 70°F), particularly in shallow areas near Jūrmala, a popular beach destination. On sunny days, the surface water can feel even warmer, making summer the best time for swimming and other water activities. However, occasional wind-driven upwelling can cause sudden drops in temperature, especially after strong offshore winds.
The Gulf of Riga's relatively sheltered waters provide better conditions for swimming and boating compared to the open Baltic Sea. The region’s long sandy beaches and gentle waves make it a favorite summer destination for locals and tourists alike. While the water remains cooler than in southern Europe, it is still comfortable for swimming during the peak of summer, offering a refreshing escape from the warm air temperatures.
