*** 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
The town of Čapljina is situated in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, along the lower stretch of the Neretva River, just before its delta. Unlike its upper course near Konjic, the Neretva here flows through a warmer, lowland area, and its temperature is also influenced by the large hydroelectric system and its proximity to the Adriatic. In the winter, the river is cool but rarely freezes, with temperatures generally between 8∘C and 12∘C. During the peak summer months of July and August, the water warms considerably, reaching comfortable bathing temperatures often between 23∘C and 25∘C.
Swimming in the Neretva River around Čapljina is generally allowed and a highly popular summer activity. Due to the warmer temperatures compared to upstream and the very hot local climate, the river offers a primary source of recreation. Local swimming spots and river beaches are established along the banks, particularly in calmer sections. The beach/pool score for Čapljina is high in late summer, confirming its suitability for water-based activities. However, swimmers should always be mindful of the river's currents and the potential influence of water flow regulation from the nearby hydroelectric dams.
