Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used.

*** 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
Žatec lies on the banks of the Ohře River, where the flow is already quite broad and steady. In summer, the water temperature in this part of the river usually reaches around 18–22°C, sometimes a little higher during longer hot spells. The river cools down quickly in spring and autumn, often staying closer to 12–15°C, which makes swimming much more of a brisk experience outside the warmest months.
For swimming, the Ohře in Žatec offers mostly natural spots rather than structured bathing areas. Locals sometimes use calm stretches of the river to take a dip, especially on hot summer days, although the current can be stronger in some places. The riverbanks here provide green areas where it’s possible to sit, relax, and enjoy the water, but swimming remains more informal and suited to those who like a natural river environment rather than a developed beach setting.
