*** 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 Pontesei (Lago di Pontesei) is a man-made reservoir in the Veneto region whose water temperatures reflect its mountain-fed character and variable depth. Seasonal surface temperatures typically run from near freezing in winter — around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) — to cool spring values of roughly 4–12 °C (39–54 °F). In the warmest summer months the surface can warm to roughly 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) on sunny days, while autumn sees a steady decline to roughly 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) as air temperatures fall. Deeper layers remain markedly colder year-round, so overall the lake tends to be cooler than lowland lakes even in summer.
Swimming in Pontesei is generally discouraged and in many places officially restricted because the reservoir is used for hydroelectric and water-management purposes. Variable water levels, sudden releases, submerged structures and steep or muddy banks create safety hazards, and there are often no lifeguards or designated bathing facilities. That said, on warm summer days locals may bathe near accessible shorelines when conditions are calm; however, anyone considering entering the water should check local signage and regulations and be aware of cold temperatures and changing currents before swimming.
