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
Lago di Pietra del Pertusillo (commonly called Lago del Pertusillo) is an artificial reservoir in Basilicata whose surface temperatures vary seasonally and with depth. Typical spring surface temperatures are about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) as the water slowly warms; in summer the surface commonly reaches 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), and on particularly hot days can approach 28 °C (82 °F). Autumn temperatures generally decline to roughly 14–20 °C (57–68 °F), while winter surface readings often sit between 6–12 °C (43–54 °F). These figures are approximate: deeper water remains colder year-round and sudden weather shifts or releases for hydropower can change local conditions quickly.
Swimming at Lago di Pietra del Pertusillo is subject to restrictions and is often discouraged or formally prohibited in parts of the reservoir. As a managed water body used for supply and hydroelectric purposes, authorities limit bathing both to protect water quality and for safety reasons — steep banks, variable water levels, submerged structures and boat traffic create hazards. In some designated spots or during specific periods local administrations may tolerate supervised recreational use, but visitors should check current local regulations and signage before entering the water.
