*** 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
Kuş Gölü (Lake Kuş or Manyas) is a shallow, bird-rich lake in Balıkesir whose water temperature can fluctuate noticeably with the seasons because of its low depth and exposure. In winter the surface typically falls to roughly 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), spring sees a gradual rise to about 8–16 °C (46–61 °F), summer temperatures commonly reach 20–28 °C (68–82 °F) on warmer days, and autumn brings cooling back toward roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). These are approximate seasonal ranges and will vary year to year and with daily weather; shallow bays heat and cool faster than deeper sections, so local readings can differ across the lake.
Swimming in Kuş Gölü is generally discouraged and often restricted because the lake lies within a protected bird sanctuary and national park. Restrictions aim to minimize disturbance to nesting and migratory birds and to protect sensitive habitats; moreover, parts of the lake have muddy bottoms, fluctuating water quality and occasional algal growth that can make bathing unpleasant or unsafe. While locals sometimes enter the water in warm weather, visitors should follow posted regulations and guidance from park authorities, both for personal safety and to preserve the ecological integrity of the site.
