*** 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.

The Abava is a medium‑sized river in western Latvia whose water temperature follows the country's temperate seasonal cycle. In spring, as snowmelt and rains feed the river, temperatures typically sit between about 1 and 10 °C (34–50 °F), rising through late spring. In summer the shallow, slow stretches warm most and water temperatures commonly range from roughly 14 to 22 °C (57–72 °F), although isolated sunlit pools can be a few degrees warmer. Autumn cooling brings values down to approximately 6–14 °C (43–57 °F). In winter much of the river can be at or just above freezing, roughly 0–4 °C (32–39 °F), and sections may freeze over depending on the season’s severity.
Swimming in the Abava is generally possible but largely informal; there are few, if any, lifeguarded or officially designated bathing sites along the river, and local rules or nature‑protection measures may restrict access in parts of the Abava Valley. Many people swim in summer where banks are accessible and current is mild, but caution is advised because depth, submerged obstacles, currents and variable water quality after rain can create hazards. In protected or ecologically sensitive zones bathing may be discouraged to preserve habitats, so swimmers should choose safe spots, check local guidance and take standard water‑safety precautions.
