Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Lezhë (Albanian: Lezha) in Lezhë County lies close to Lake Shkodër and the Buna River system, and local lake water temperatures reflect the Adriatic-influenced continental climate. Typical seasonal surface temperatures are about 6–10 °C (43–50 °F) in winter, 11–18 °C (52–64 °F) in spring, 22–28 °C (72–82 °F) in summer, and 15–21 °C (59–70 °F) in autumn. Shallow bays and river mouths warm more quickly and can reach the upper end of these ranges in calm summer weather, while deeper or fast-flowing channels stay several degrees cooler. Short-term variations occur with wind, rainfall and inflows from mountain streams, so measured temperatures can differ from averages.
Swimming in the lake and adjacent river areas is generally permitted and is popular in summer when surface temperatures are comfortably warm for bathing. However, access and suitability depend on location: some zones lie within protected parkland or have strong currents near river mouths, and water quality can vary after heavy rains or near agricultural runoff. For that reason local signage, seasonal lifeguard presence, and municipal advisories should guide where and when to swim. In winter and early spring the cooler temperatures make prolonged swimming uncomfortable and potentially unsafe without thermal protection.
