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
Shijak (Shijaku) is a small town in Durrës County, Albania, located inland from the Adriatic coast near the Erzen river basin. The local lake and associated ponds are relatively shallow and exposed to the same Mediterranean-influenced climate as the coastal plain, so surface water temperatures fluctuate with the seasons. Typical seasonal surface temperatures might be around 6–10 °C (43–50 °F) in winter, 11–18 °C (52–64 °F) in spring, 24–28 °C (75–82 °F) in summer, and 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) in autumn. These figures are approximate and can vary with recent weather, depth, shading and inflows.
Swimming is sometimes practiced locally, but the lake is not widely promoted as an official bathing area. Whether swimming is allowed depends on municipal rules and water quality at the time; many small inland lakes in the area lack formal lifeguards, marked zones or regular water-quality monitoring, and can be affected by agricultural runoff, algal growth or variable depths. For safety and health reasons it is advisable to check local signage and conditions before entering the water, and to avoid swimming after heavy rains or when visible pollution or strong currents are present.
