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
Čertovo jezero, located in the Šumava National Park in the Czech Republic, is a small glacial lake set amid dense forests and mountainous terrain. Due to its high elevation and relatively small size, the water remains quite cold even during summer, generally reaching only about 11–14 °C. This makes swimming challenging for most visitors, as the lake is better suited for short, brisk dips rather than prolonged bathing.
The lake is surrounded by natural, rocky, and mossy banks with no formal swimming facilities or lifeguards. Access to the water is limited and often requires careful footing, so visitors should be cautious when entering the lake. Shallow, sun-exposed areas may feel slightly more comfortable, but the overall experience of swimming is invigorating and refreshing rather than leisurely.
Čertovo jezero is more popular for hiking, nature observation, and photography than for swimming. Its tranquil setting, clear waters, and scenic surroundings make it an ideal spot for enjoying the natural beauty of the Šumava region. Even if swimming is limited by the cold temperatures, a brief dip can be a refreshing reward after a hike, while the lake’s serene environment offers a peaceful retreat in the mountains.
