*** 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

Plešné jezero is a glacial lake set high in the Šumava Mountains, and its mountain location greatly influences the water temperature. Even in the middle of summer, the lake remains quite cold, with typical temperatures ranging from 12–16 °C. The depth and elevation prevent it from warming significantly, so bathing here is more of a brisk, refreshing dip rather than a leisurely swim. For most visitors, the cool water is part of the lake’s wild and natural charm.

Because of its chilly conditions, Plešné jezero is not a typical swimming destination like lowland ponds or reservoirs. Instead, it appeals to those who enjoy the challenge of cold-water bathing or simply want to experience the pristine mountain environment up close. The dramatic scenery surrounding the lake makes it a unique spot where swimming becomes less about comfort and more about the invigorating experience of immersing oneself in pure, cold mountain water.
