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
Liqeni i Farkës (Farka Lake) near Tirana experiences a clear seasonal cycle in surface water temperature. In winter the lake typically cools to roughly 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), while spring brings a steady rise into the 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) range as air temperatures warm. Peak summer surface temperatures commonly reach 22–28 °C (72–82 °F) on calm, sunny days, and early autumn usually sees a gradual decline to about 12–20 °C (54–68 °F). These ranges vary year to year with weather, wind, and depth-related stratification: shallow areas warm faster in summer and cool more quickly in winter, so local readings can differ from the general averages.
Swimming at Farka Lake is not formally promoted as an organized public beach activity and is often discouraged for several practical reasons. The reservoir has mixed water quality due to runoff, occasional algal growth, and limited lifeguard or safety infrastructure, and parts of the shoreline are used for fishing, boating, or water management. For these safety and environmental considerations many local authorities advise against casual swimming, though swimmers and informal recreational users are sometimes seen during warm months. Anyone considering entering the water should check current local guidance and water conditions before doing so.
