*** 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
Ķeguma Reservoir, formed on the Daugava River near the town of Ķegums, experiences pronounced seasonal shifts in water temperature typical of Baltic inland waters. In winter the surface commonly sits at or just above freezing, roughly 0–4 °C (32–39 °F), and ice cover is possible for parts of the season. Spring warming raises temperatures to about 3–12 °C (37–54 °F) as ice melts and inflows remain cool. Summer brings the warmest conditions, with surface values typically in the 16–22 °C range (61–72 °F) on average and occasionally rising toward 24 °C (75 °F) during hot spells; deeper water and areas with stronger currents stay noticeably cooler. Autumn sees a steady decline, with waters generally between 8 and 14 °C (46–57 °F) before freezing begins.
Swimming in the reservoir is a common recreational activity in suitable areas, but it is not universally unrestricted. Many sections are used for bathing and boating, yet zones close to the dam, intake structures, or busy navigation channels are often off-limits for safety reasons. Water quality can vary with season and local runoff, and currents or sudden depth changes pose hazards, so local signage, municipal rules and common-sense precautions should be followed. Lifeguards are not guaranteed, and cold or variable temperatures can increase the risk of cold shock and hypothermia even in summer at depth.
