⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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.

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 Styr River, which flows through Lutsk, is the city's main water artery and a potential location for summer recreation. Due to its moderate current and average depth, the water in the Styr within the city limits warms up well under the summer heat. During the peak swimming season, which usually lasts from June to August, the water temperature here is quite suitable for swimming, often reaching comfortable values around +21 to +24∘C or even higher. Lutsk city authorities typically officially open the beach season, preparing the central beach on the Styr and the Teremnivski Ponds.
However, despite the warm water, the opportunities for safe swimming in Lutsk are unstable. Although the water often meets sanitary and microbiological standards at the beginning of the season, throughout the summer, epidemiologists regularly detect elevated levels of E. coli and other bacteria in water samples from the Styr River, especially within the city limits. This is likely linked to insufficiently treated wastewater and surface runoff from the urban area.
Consequently, swimming in the Styr River in Lutsk is often not recommended or temporarily prohibited by sanitary services to prevent infectious diseases. Although the central beach is prepared for recreation (with amenities and lifeguards), its suitability for swimming can change. Visitors should always pay attention to current warnings from local authorities and sanitary services.
