*** 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 Bednja River, one of the smaller rivers in northern Croatia, flows gently through valleys and villages before joining the Drava. Its shallow character means the water warms up fairly quickly in summer, often reaching 20–24°C during July and August. While cooler than large lakes, the Bednja still provides a pleasant refreshment on hot days, especially in calmer sections where the flow is not too strong.
Swimming in the Bednja is not widespread, but it is possible in certain stretches where locals sometimes go for a dip. The banks are often natural and overgrown, so access can be limited, but this also gives the river a quiet and untouched charm. Those who do swim here usually enjoy a very peaceful and private experience, surrounded by greenery and away from crowds.
