*** 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.

Biga Stream (in Turkish, Biga Çayı) runs through the Çanakkale region and shows clear seasonal variation in water temperature. In winter months the river commonly cools to around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), while spring sees a gradual rise into the 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) range as snowmelt and rains increase flow. By summer, calmer and shallower reaches can warm to roughly 18–25 °C (64–77 °F), with the warmest localized pools occasionally reaching the mid‑twenties Celsius. Autumn temperatures usually fall back toward 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) as air temperatures drop and precipitation increases. Local conditions, shading from riparian vegetation, and recent rainfall can shift these values noticeably from week to week.
Swimming in Biga Çayı is possible in summer in sheltered, slow‑moving sections where temperatures are more comfortable, but it is not universally recommended along the whole river. Currents, variable depth, submerged hazards and sections affected by agricultural runoff or urban discharges mean water quality and safety can vary; some stretches are not suitable for bathing and local authorities sometimes advise against it. Recreational use is safest where there are known, maintained access points or popular local spots with calmer water and clear visibility; even then swimmers should be cautious about currents and sudden depth changes.
