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
Selura, a freshwater lake in Agder County, typically shows clear seasonal variation in surface water temperatures. In summer months (June–August) temperatures commonly range from about 16–22 °C (61–72 °F), with the warmest conditions in shallow bays on sunny days. Spring and early summer see a more rapid rise from roughly 4–12 °C (39–54 °F), while autumn cooling brings temperatures down to around 8–14 °C (46–57 °F). During winter the lake often reaches near-freezing conditions, around 0 °C (32 °F), and may freeze over in sustained cold periods, making open-water bathing unlikely.
Swimming in Selura is generally possible and practiced during the warmer months because Norwegian access rights permit public use of most shorelines and there are accessible entry points and beaches. However, water remains noticeably cooler than many southern European bathing waters, so swimmers should expect brisk conditions outside the warmest weeks and consider shorter swims or protective clothing such as a wetsuit. Local rules or private property restrictions can apply to specific spots, and natural factors like depth, wind, and sudden temperature changes affect safety; these practical considerations largely determine when and where most people choose to swim in Selura.
