*** 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.

Other hazards may include hidden debris beneath the water's surface and potentially unsanitary water conditions due to untreated water run-off. Although the river might seem inviting especially during the warm summer months, individuals are encouraged to swim in the public pools and designated swimming lakes within the city that are maintained and supervised for safety and hygiene.
