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
Kartal Lake, located in the Danube region of Odesa Oblast, is a typical example of a floodplain lake that holds the status of a wetland of international importance. Thanks to its shallow average depth, which is only about one meter (with a maximum of 2.4 meters), the water in the lake warms up very quickly and intensely throughout the summer season. At the peak of the heat, typically in July and August, Kartal's water temperature reaches a comfortable +24 to +26∘C, making it very pleasant for swimming and extended periods in the water. The lake freezes in winter.
Swimming opportunities at Kartal exist, but it is important to note that this is not a classic resort experience. The lake has a flat, silty bottom, and its shores are often covered with reeds and other aquatic vegetation. Swimming is part of the recreation at the Kartal eco-park, which is developing in the area, offering instead eco-tourism, bird watching, and fishing. Recreation here is primarily wild or eco-touristic in nature, with the possibility of camping on the shore.
Thus, Kartal offers warm water for swimming, but it primarily attracts nature enthusiasts and those seeking quiet relaxation. For those looking for solitude and the opportunity to combine water activities with ecological observations away from noisy beaches, the warm shallows of Kartal can be an excellent choice in southern Ukraine.
