❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Vrag, or Vražje Jezero, is a glacial lake located near Žabljak in northern Montenegro, within the Durmitor mountain region. It lies at an altitude of about 1,410 meters, surrounded by open meadows and rugged peaks. Because of its high elevation and clear mountain water, the lake stays cold throughout most of the year. In spring, the water temperature ranges between 5 and 9 °C, while in summer it reaches 15–19 °C on warmer days. In autumn, it cools again to around 10–13 °C, and during winter, it often freezes. The lake’s water is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and surrounding grasslands.
Swimming in Lake Vrag is allowed, but only the most resilient swimmers tend to enjoy it due to the low temperature. The best time for swimming is during July and August, when the surface water warms slightly, though it remains refreshingly cold. Because of its purity and remote mountain location, the lake is more popular for picnics, hiking, and photography than for bathing. Surrounded by untouched nature, Lake Vrag represents one of Montenegro’s most striking alpine landscapes, offering calm beauty and a sense of wilderness.
