*** 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
Rīgas ūdenskrātuve is a man-made reservoir near Riga that experiences marked seasonal changes in water temperature typical for the Baltic region. In spring the water warms from near freezing to about 0–10 °C (32–50 °F) as ice melts and air temperatures rise. Summer months usually bring the warmest conditions, with surface temperatures commonly ranging between 15–24 °C (59–75 °F) and occasionally reaching the mid-20s °C (mid-70s °F) during extended heat. In autumn the reservoir cools to roughly 6–15 °C (43–59 °F), and in winter the surface often falls to around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) and may be ice-covered for periods.
Swimming opportunities at Rīgas ūdenskrātuve depend on local regulations, seasonal conditions and water quality. Because the site is a managed water body, there can be protective zones, safety considerations and occasional restrictions to safeguard drinking-water supplies and shore infrastructure; these factors mean formal bathing may be limited or allowed only in designated areas. Informal recreational swimming does occur during warm summer weeks where access is safe, but visitors should check current local guidance, water quality reports and ice safety before entering the water.
