Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Dienvidsusēja River in Latvia typically experiences a wide annual range of water temperatures driven by seasonal weather and its relatively shallow, flowing character. In spring (April–May) surface temperatures often rise from near freezing after ice melt to roughly 2–12 °C (36–54 °F). In summer (June–August) the river can warm to about 14–22 °C (57–72 °F) at the surface in sheltered stretches, though faster or deeper channels remain cooler. Autumn (September–October) brings a steady decline toward roughly 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) before winter ice sets in; in winter months water temperatures are generally close to 0 °C (32 °F) under ice or in open flow, often 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) where currents prevent total freezing.
Swimming in the Dienvidsusēja is physically possible during the warmer months when surface temperatures reach comfortable levels, but it is not a formally managed bathing area in most locations. Local authorities do not typically prohibit entering the water, yet there are no lifeguards, and water quality, depth variations, submerged obstacles and sometimes swift currents can make swimming risky. Visitors should check local signage or municipal guidance, avoid isolated spots, be cautious after heavy rains when runoff can worsen water quality, and remember that cold-season swimming should only be attempted with proper experience and precautions.
