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 Barcs, the Drava River forms both a natural border and an important part of local life. The river here is wide and carries a steady flow, with water temperatures in summer usually reaching 21–25°C, making it refreshing yet comfortable for those seeking to cool down. In spring the water is colder and influenced by snowmelt from upstream, while in autumn it gradually cools again, so swimming is mainly popular in the peak summer months.
Bathing in the Drava at Barcs is possible but requires caution, as the river current can be strong in certain stretches. Locals and visitors often choose designated spots near the town where the water is calmer and safer. The riverside is also popular for boating, kayaking, and fishing, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural environment. For those who prefer a swim in open water, the Drava can be a unique experience, provided safety rules are respected.
