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
Krāslava is a small Latvian town on the Daugava River known for its green surroundings and nearby lakes and riverbanks that attract swimmers and nature lovers. Water temperatures in lakes and slow-flowing parts of the Daugava follow seasonal patterns typical for the region: in spring (April–May) surface temperatures are commonly around 4–12 °C (39–54 °F) as ice melts and the water slowly warms. Peak summer temperatures (July–August) usually reach about 18–25 °C (64–77 °F) in shallow bays and small lakes, occasionally rising a few degrees higher on very warm summers. In early autumn (September) temperatures typically fall to roughly 10–15 °C (50–59 °F), and by late autumn and winter the water is often close to freezing and many water bodies are ice-covered.
Swimming is generally allowed in Krāslava in summer where beaches or gentle riverbanks are used by locals; the warmer summer temperatures make recreation comfortable. However, whether a specific spot is suitable depends on water quality, currents, and presence of designated bathing areas, so caution is advised. In winter open-water swimming is not recommended except for experienced ice swimmers using prepared holes and safety measures, because ice, hypothermia risk, and fast currents can make swimming dangerous.
