Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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

Zhrebchevo Reservoir (Язовир Жребчево) typically shows a clear seasonal pattern in surface water temperature. In winter the surface often drops toward near-freezing values, roughly 0–4 °C (32–39 °F). Spring warming brings surface temperatures into the mid single digits up to around 10–15 °C (43–59 °F) as the season progresses. Summer surface temperatures are usually the warmest, commonly in the 20–26 °C range (68–79 °F) and on hot, calm days can reach the high twenties, around 27–28 °C (80–82 °F). In autumn the water cools again, generally falling to about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). These figures are for surface measurements; deeper water remains markedly cooler due to thermal stratification and local wind and inflow conditions can cause variation from year to year.

Swimming at Zhrebchevo is possible and commonly practiced in warm months, but it is subject to practical and regulatory considerations. There are no widespread formal beach facilities around the entire reservoir, and authorities or local signs may restrict access near the dam, intake structures and boat traffic areas for safety and water-management reasons. Water quality is variable depending on season, inflows and agricultural runoff, and sudden depth changes, submerged vegetation and currents near outlets can pose hazards. For those considering a swim, choosing open, calm shallows away from infrastructure and observing local notices and safety guidance is advisable.
