*** 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 Ipeľ River, forming part of the border between Hungary and Slovakia, is a calm and scenic waterway that flows through rural landscapes. In the summer months, the water temperature usually rises to around 20–23°C, depending on the weather and water levels. This makes it refreshing but not overly warm, which can be pleasant on hot days. However, its relatively small size and changing depth mean that swimming is possible only in certain sections where the current is weak and the riverbed is safe.
Swimming in the Ipeľ is possible, but it is mostly enjoyed by locals in rural areas rather than as an organized activity. The river’s flow is generally gentle, making it accessible, though one must watch for changes after heavy rains that can raise water levels and currents. Many people also use the river for fishing and recreation along its quiet banks, where the atmosphere is much more peaceful than at larger Slovak rivers.
