❌ 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.

*** 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 town of Rakhiv, located deep in the Carpathian Mountains of Zakarpattia, stands on the upper reaches of the Tisza River — where it is still a true mountain stream. Here, the river flows quickly through a narrow valley with crystal-clear, cold water fed by numerous springs and mountain streams. Even in summer, the water remains relatively cool: in late May it averages around 10–13°C, and in July and August it may warm to 16–18°C on sunny days, especially in shallow areas near the town. The river cools rapidly at night and after rain, so swimming here always feels brisk and refreshing rather than warm.
Swimming in the Tisza near Rakhiv is an experience for those who enjoy natural mountain waters. The riverbed is rocky, the current is lively but not dangerous in calm stretches, and the water clarity is exceptional. Locals and tourists often swim or simply wade in the river during the hottest days to cool down, appreciating the freshness and purity of the water. The surrounding Carpathian landscape — green slopes, fresh air, and the sound of the flowing river — makes bathing here not only invigorating but also deeply relaxing.
