*** 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 Bečva River flows through the eastern part of the Czech Republic, winding through towns, villages, and rural landscapes in the Moravian-Silesian and Zlín regions. Its water is generally cool, especially in spring and early summer when it is fed by smaller streams and runoff from surrounding hills. During the warmest months of July and August, surface temperatures typically reach around 18–22 °C, making the river suitable for brief dips or wading. In spring and early summer, temperatures usually range from 10 °C to 16 °C, so swimming can feel brisk and refreshing rather than leisurely.
Swimming directly in the Bečva River is limited, as the riverbanks are often natural and not developed for recreational use. Some calm sections are used by locals for quick cooling-off dips, but caution is necessary due to variable currents, sudden changes in depth, and occasional boat traffic. The river is generally more suitable for wading, relaxing by the water, or other light recreational activities rather than extended swimming sessions.
Overall, the Bečva River provides a scenic and natural environment for short swims and cooling off during the warmer months. For safer and more comfortable swimming experiences, nearby ponds, reservoirs, or recreational lakes are preferred, but the river remains a quiet and accessible option for those looking to enjoy the water in a natural setting.
