*** 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
Silifke (Turkish: Silifke) in Mersin province lies close to the Mediterranean coast and several small inland lakes and reservoirs fed by the Göksu River system. Water temperatures in these inland bodies follow a Mediterranean pattern: in winter they typically fall to about 8–14 °C (46–57 °F), in spring they warm to roughly 12–20 °C (54–68 °F), peak in summer at approximately 22–30 °C (72–86 °F), and cool again in autumn to near 16–24 °C (61–75 °F). Exact values vary with depth, shading, and recent weather; shallow, sheltered lakes heat up more quickly and can reach the upper end of the summer range, while deeper reservoirs remain cooler.
Swimming in Silifke’s lakes is generally possible and is most comfortable during the warm months when temperatures exceed about 22 °C (72 °F). Whether swimming is allowed depends on local regulations, water quality and safety conditions; some areas in the Göksu delta and nearby wetlands are environmentally protected or subject to seasonal restrictions to safeguard birds and habitats. Visitors should follow posted signs, check for local advisories about algae, currents or boat traffic, and be mindful that colder shoulder-season temperatures can make prolonged swimming unsafe without thermal protection.
