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
Jēkabpils and its surroundings are dotted with small lakes and reservoirs whose water temperatures follow a clear seasonal pattern typical for inland Latvia. In summer, surface temperatures commonly reach about 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), offering comfortable conditions for recreational swimming. Late spring sees a rapid warm-up with lakes averaging roughly 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) depending on depth and sunshine, while autumn temperatures usually fall back to around 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) as cooling weather sets in. In winter the water approaches freezing; surface temperatures around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) are normal and ice cover frequently forms, especially in shallower basins.
Swimming in lakes near Jēkabpils is generally allowed and popular during the warmer months, subject to local rules and water quality. Municipal beaches or designated bathing areas are preferred because they are monitored and tested; informal swimming is possible where there are no prohibitions, but restrictions may apply near reservoirs, private shorelines, or places with strong currents. In spring and autumn cold water presents hypothermia risk for prolonged immersion, and winter swimming should only be done where organized and safety measures are in place. Visitors should observe signage and local guidance before entering the water.
