*** 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 Cetina River in Croatia is known for its crystal-clear water and refreshing temperatures. Even in the warmest summer months, the water rarely gets warmer than 18–20°C, as it comes from springs and flows through mountainous terrain. This makes swimming in the Cetina very refreshing, especially on hot days, but also noticeably cooler compared to the Adriatic Sea or lowland rivers.
Swimming in the Cetina is possible in calmer stretches, where the current is weaker and access to the riverbank is easier. Locals and visitors often use these spots for a quick dip to cool off, while the colder water tends to limit long swims. In addition to swimming, the river is popular for rafting and kayaking, which attract those looking for both adventure and direct contact with its pristine waters.
