*** 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 Drīdzis is a deep, clear Latvian lake that exhibits the typical seasonal temperature patterns of a temperate, stratified water body. In spring, as ice melts and the water mixes, surface temperatures usually range from near 0 up to about 10–12 °C (32–54 °F). During summer the surface can warm to roughly 15–24 °C (59–75 °F) on warm days, though water near the thermocline and at depth remains much cooler. In autumn the surface cools again, commonly falling to between 5 and 15 °C (41–59 °F) during the turnover period. In winter the lake commonly freezes; the water beneath the ice stays close to 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) with deep layers near 4 °C (39 °F), reflecting the stable cold-water conditions of a deep lake.
Swimming in Lake Drīdzis is possible and commonly done in summer at accessible shorelines, since there is no blanket prohibition on bathing in natural lakes in Latvia. However, the lake’s depth and stratification create sudden temperature changes, cold deep water and steep drop-offs that can be hazardous, so swimmers should use caution. In winter, ice swimming or plunges occur but only where ice thickness and local safety are confirmed. As always, checking local water-quality information and following posted guidance or advice from locals is recommended before entering the water.
