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.

The river here has a steady but gentle current, which keeps the water cooler than nearby ponds. In the warmest weeks of July and August, the Otava in Strakonice usually reaches around 19–22 °C, offering a refreshing escape from the heat. During spring or after rainfall, the temperature can drop several degrees, so swimming is more suitable for those who enjoy a brisk, natural dip.
The riverbanks in Strakonice are easily accessible, and some sections are traditionally used for bathing, giving the town a relaxed summertime atmosphere. While the Otava may not provide the comfort of managed lakes or reservoirs, its flowing water, green surroundings, and central location make it an attractive option for swimming.
