⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 65°F (18°C) to 68°F (20°C). This is already quite warm water, which is ideal for most people. Swimming becomes comfortable, and prolonged stays in the water do not cause discomfort. This temperature is perfect for family trips and for those who prefer warmer water. It is also comfortable for water sports such as surfing or swimming. 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
Cizre (in Turkish - Cizre) in Şırnak lies on the banks of the Tigris River and near reservoirized sections formed by upstream dams, so water temperature and swimming conditions reflect a river-reservoir climate rather than a coastal lake. Typical surface temperatures vary by season: winter months often bring about 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), spring rises to roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F), midsummer can warm surface waters to around 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), and autumn generally cools to 14–20 °C (57–68 °F). These ranges depend on recent weather, dam releases, depth, and flow; shallow, sun-warmed coves heat faster than deeper or fast-flowing channels.
Swimming is possible in calmer, warmer months but is not universally encouraged or officially managed at many local spots. Authorities may restrict access near dam infrastructure or on sections with strong currents, submerged hazards, or variable water quality from upstream runoff. In winter the cold temperatures make extended swimming unsafe without protection, while spring and autumn flows can be swift after rains. Visitors should seek local guidance, use designated recreational areas where present, and exercise caution because of changing flows, hidden debris, and limited lifeguard services.
