*** 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
Råstojaure, a lake in Norrbotten County (Swedish: Råstojaure), typically has cold water temperatures year-round because of its northern location and altitude. During winter the surface is usually ice-covered and water just beneath the ice hovers around 0–1 °C (32–34 °F). In spring, as ice melts, temperatures rise slowly to roughly 1–6 °C (34–43 °F). Midsummer brings the warmest conditions, with surface temperatures commonly in the 8–16 °C range (46–61 °F) and occasional warm summers pushing values toward about 18 °C (64 °F). In autumn the lake cools again to around 4–10 °C (39–50 °F) before freezing sets in. Local weather, depth, and inflows can produce variation from these typical ranges.
Swimming in Råstojaure is generally possible and not formally prohibited in most such publicly accessible lakes in Sweden, but practical opportunities are limited by cold conditions and long periods of ice cover. Many people take short dips or use wetsuits during summer when surface temperatures are highest, while winter swimming is only feasible where ice holes are maintained and experienced cold-water swimmers are present. Visitors should consider cold-water risks, remoteness, and any local rules or conservation protections that might affect access before planning to swim.
