*** 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
Goražde is a picturesque city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, famous for the emerald-green Drina River that flows through it. The Drina's water temperature is notably low year-round due to its sources in deep mountain areas and the influence of hydroelectric power plants. Typically, the temperature ranges from as low as 8∘C in winter to a peak of around 13∘C to 16∘C during the peak summer months of July and August. This means the water remains consistently cold, even when the air temperature is high.
Swimming is generally allowed in the Drina River near Goražde, particularly at designated local beaches or popular spots, where locals often seek relief from the summer heat. However, due to the consistently low temperature, prolonged swimming is often challenging and only recommended for the bravest swimmers. Visitors are always advised to exercise extreme caution because of the strong currents and cold temperatures, which can quickly cause fatigue and hypothermia, making the river inherently risky for water recreation.
