❌ 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
The city of Kranj lies along the Sava River in northern Slovenia, where the river flows through a mix of urban areas and green spaces. At this point, the Sava is a lowland river, and the water warms up more in summer than in its alpine stretches. From June to August, surface temperatures in slower, shallower sections near Kranj usually reach 20–24°C, providing comfortable conditions for swimming. In spring and autumn, the water is cooler, typically around 12–16°C, while in winter it drops to 4–6°C.
Swimming in the Sava within Kranj is limited due to urban infrastructure and varying currents. However, some calmer areas along the riverbanks can be used for wading or a quick dip, and locals sometimes enjoy informal swimming in these spots. Canoeing, kayaking, and other water activities are popular in sections with gentler currents.
Outside the summer months, swimming is uncommon because of cooler water and faster currents in certain areas. Despite this, the riverbanks in Kranj remain attractive for walking, cycling, picnics, and enjoying the natural scenery. Even a brief summer dip can be refreshing and provide a pleasant way to escape the heat.
