*** 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

In Osijek, the Drava River is an important part of city life, especially during the summer months. The water temperature here usually rises to around 22–25 °C in July and August, which makes it pleasant for swimming and other water activities. In spring and autumn, the river remains cooler, while in winter the water is too cold for bathing.

Osijek is known for its urban beach called “Copacabana,” located directly on the Drava. This spot is popular among locals who come to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the riverside atmosphere. The river current can be strong in some places, but the designated swimming area near the beach provides safe conditions for those who want to cool off during hot summer days.
