*** 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
Nové Štrbské pleso is a small mountain lake located in the High Tatras, close to the more famous Štrbské pleso. Because of its alpine setting and relatively high altitude, the water here remains cold for most of the year. Even in summer, the lake rarely warms above 15–17 °C, and on cooler days it can feel much colder. The temperature reflects the surrounding climate — long winters, fresh snowmelt, and frequent mountain winds keep the water refreshing and brisk.
Swimming in Nové Štrbské pleso is generally not common, as the lake is more valued for its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. It is mainly a place for walks, relaxation, or simply enjoying the scenery rather than bathing. While a quick dip might be tempting for those who enjoy cold water swimming, most visitors prefer to admire the lake from its banks rather than use it as a swimming spot.
