*** 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
Lake Bodom, known in Finnish as Bodominjärvi, is a medium-sized lake situated in Espoo, Uusimaa, surrounded by forested hills and residential areas. The lake’s water temperature follows typical southern Finnish patterns, with a long ice cover during winter and pleasant warmth in midsummer. In spring, soon after the ice melts, the temperature stays low, around 5–9 °C (41–48 °F). By June, the water warms to 15–18 °C (59–64 °F), and during July and early August it often reaches 20–23 °C (68–73 °F). In exceptionally warm summers, short peaks of 25 °C (77 °F) may occur. By late autumn, the temperature gradually drops again below 10 °C.
Swimming in Lake Bodom is officially permitted, and the water quality is regularly monitored. There are several maintained swimming spots, including Bodom beach, which is popular with locals and families. The water is generally clean and calm, making it safe for both adults and children. Thanks to its moderate depth and sheltered position, the lake warms relatively quickly compared to larger Finnish lakes. During summer, it provides excellent opportunities for open-water swimming, kayaking, and relaxation amid Espoo’s scenic natural setting.
