*** 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 Cheb, the Ohře River flows calmly through the town, creating a natural setting in the midst of its historic streets. Because the river collects water from upstream areas, it tends to remain relatively cool even during the summer months. In late spring, water temperatures usually range around 15–17 °C, while in July and August they often reach 19–21 °C. On hot days, the river offers a refreshing option for those looking to cool off, though it rarely feels warm enough for long, leisurely swims.
Swimming directly in the Ohře at Cheb is limited, as most of the riverbanks in the town are urbanized and not officially designated for bathing. However, there are some calmer and shallower areas along the edges where locals sometimes enjoy a quick dip. The water is generally clean and clear, and the gentle current in these sections makes it possible to wade safely, though caution is always advised.
For those seeking a more comfortable swimming experience, visitors often travel a short distance outside the town to nearby ponds or reservoirs, where water temperatures are slightly higher and facilities for bathing are more developed. Nevertheless, the Ohře in Cheb offers a natural, refreshing river experience for locals and visitors who appreciate cooler water and a scenic riverside setting.
