*** 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

Vodní nádrž Lipno is the largest reservoir in the Czech Republic, located in the South Bohemian Region near the Šumava Mountains. The reservoir is a popular destination for swimming, boating, and other water-based recreation due to its expansive and calm waters. During the peak summer months of July and August, water temperatures near the shores typically reach around 22–25 °C, making it very comfortable for swimming, wading, and light water sports. The gentle slopes along many parts of the shoreline allow easy access to the water, making it suitable for families and casual swimmers.

Swimming at Lipno is mostly informal, with natural beaches, designated bathing areas, and spots along the reservoir’s shores. Visitors often combine swimming with other activities such as sunbathing, picnics, kayaking, or sailing. The calm nature of the water and the scenic surroundings of forested hills and mountains make it an attractive place for both relaxation and recreation during the summer months.

Outside the peak summer season, water temperatures drop significantly. In May or September, the reservoir usually stays around 15–18 °C, which is too cool for long swims but still allows brief dips or wading near the shore. Even when the water is cooler, Vodní nádrž Lipno remains a beautiful and inviting destination for enjoying the outdoors, walking along the shoreline, and taking in the natural beauty of the South Bohemian landscape.
