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
Lipsko Lake (Lipsko jezero) is a smaller, artificial compensation basin near Livno in Bosnia and Herzegovina, designed to regulate water flow between the Livanjsko Polje and the larger Buško Blato reservoir. Situated at a high elevation, the lake's water temperature is strongly influenced by cold inflow and altitude. In the winter, the water is naturally very cold, often hovering between 4∘C and 7∘C, sometimes experiencing partial freezing. During the summer, the shallow parts of the lake warm up more than deeper sections, with surface temperatures typically ranging from 18∘C to 22∘C in July and August.
Swimming in Lipsko Lake is generally allowed and occasionally practiced by locals, particularly during the warmest part of the summer. However, it's not a formally designated or supervised public beach area. The lake's primary function is hydro-technical regulation, meaning its water level and flow can fluctuate, which poses a risk. While the water is generally clean, and the summer temperature can be appealing, visitors should exercise caution due to the lack of infrastructure, the high altitude's cooler temperatures, and the variable nature of a working reservoir.
