*** 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
Pljevlja is a town in northern Montenegro, located near the source area of the famous Tara River, often called the Tear of Europe due to its incredible clarity and purity. The Tara River is a swift, cold mountain river, and its water temperature is consistently low throughout the year. For most of the year, particularly from October to May, the temperature hovers between a very cold 5∘C and 8∘C, making casual swimming generally not advisable and potentially dangerous due to the risk of cold shock.
While swimming is technically not forbidden, it is not a recommended activity due to the extremely low temperature and strong currents, especially in the spring with snowmelt. Even in the peak of summer, July and August, the water only warms up to a maximum of about 11∘C to 13∘C in the lower sections of the canyon. Short, refreshing dips are sometimes taken during organized rafting tours, for which participants typically wear protective neoprene suits to mitigate the cold.
