*** 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
Kahul Lake, located in the far south of Odesa Oblast near the border with Moldova, is one of the largest freshwater lakes in this part of Ukraine. Its shallow depth and open, sun-exposed position make the water warm up quickly in late spring. During the summer months, water temperatures often reach 24–27°C, and in especially hot periods can rise even higher, creating very comfortable conditions for swimming. However, because the lake is relatively shallow and surrounded by steppe landscapes, water can sometimes become murky due to algae growth or sediment stirred up by the wind.
Swimming in Kahul Lake is generally pleasant in calm weather, especially near the sandy or gently sloping shores. The natural surroundings give it a quiet, wild feel, attracting those who prefer uncrowded, natural places rather than organized resorts. Still, swimmers should be cautious of reeds and soft lakebeds in some areas, and it’s best to enter the water from clearer spots where locals usually swim.
