*** 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 Siutghiol (in Romanian - Limanul Siutghiol) is a shallow coastal lagoon in south‑east Romania whose water temperature varies noticeably with the seasons. In spring surface temperatures typically rise from about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) as the weather warms, while summer often brings the warmest conditions with averages around 22–28 °C (72–82 °F) in July and August. Early autumn sees a gradual cooling to roughly 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) depending on sunny days and wind, and winter temperatures commonly fall to near freezing or a few degrees above, around 0–6 °C (32–43 °F), when ice or very cold conditions may occasionally occur in sheltered spots.
Swimming in Lake Siutghiol is commonly practiced and generally allowed, especially during the summer when temperatures are comfortable for bathing; the lagoon’s relatively shallow, brackish waters warm faster than the open sea, making it attractive for recreation. However, water quality and safety can vary: nutrient-rich, stagnant conditions can favor algal blooms in hot weather, and local authorities may impose temporary restrictions or post advisories. Bathing areas are less regulated than adjacent Black Sea beaches, so swimmers should observe current local warnings, lifeguard presence, and visible water quality before entering.
