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.

In the town of Petrinja, the Kupa River flows calmly, creating a pleasant setting for swimming during the summer months. Here the water temperature typically rises to around 22–25°C in July and August, making it comfortable enough for long swims. Because the river is not too deep in this area, the water warms up more quickly than in wider stretches downstream, while still keeping a refreshing feel during hot days.
Locals in Petrinja often use the accessible riverbanks and calmer sections of the Kupa for swimming and cooling off. The atmosphere is relaxed and natural, without large crowds, which makes it an inviting spot for families and anyone who enjoys swimming in a quiet river setting. Alongside swimming, the river also offers opportunities for simple recreation like wading, fishing, or just relaxing by the water.
