Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Tukums and its immediate surroundings feature small lakes and slow rivers whose water temperatures follow typical Latvian inland patterns. In spring (April–May) waters are cold, commonly ranging from about 4–12 °C (39–54 °F) as thaw and warming proceed. Summer months (June–August) bring the warmest conditions: many sheltered lakes and slow-flowing river sections average roughly 16–24 °C (61–75 °F), with shallow, sun-exposed ponds occasionally reaching 25–27 °C (77–81 °F) during heat spells. In autumn (September–November) temperatures steadily fall to roughly 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) in early autumn, dropping further toward near-freezing by late November. Winter inland water is typically at or just above freezing, often around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) under ice or in persistent open currents.
Swimming in Tukums is commonly allowed and popular in summer at designated lakeside and calm river bathing spots where conditions are monitored and signs indicate safety. Choice of site matters: rivers can be colder, faster and have underwater hazards, while lakes may warm more but can suffer algal blooms or low visibility; local authorities and informal lifeguard services manage popular places. Ice swimming or winter plunges occur in the area as a cultural practice but require ice-thickness checks, safety supervision and appropriate precautions to be safe.
