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.
Water temperature data for this location is gathered from various sources, including buoys and satellite sea and ocean surface maps provided by the NOAA agency. We also incorporate data from local authorities in each specific location worldwide to ensure more accurate temperature readings.

Annual Water Temperature Trend
Zelenogradsk is a small seaside resort on the Russian Baltic coast in Kaliningrad Oblast, known for its long sandy beaches, pine-clad dunes and a compact promenade. The water temperatures in the coastal zone vary markedly through the year: in winter (December–February) averages are close to freezing, roughly 0–3 °C; spring (March–May) sees a steady rise from about 3–12 °C; summer (June–August) brings the warmest conditions, typically around 14–20 °C at the surface; and autumn (September–November) cools again to roughly 8–14 °C. Local variation depends on winds and weather patterns, so short heat spells can push temperatures a few degrees higher, while windy, stormy periods can make the sea much colder at the shore.
