*** 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 Krka River flows through southeastern Slovenia and is known for its clear waters, picturesque landscapes, and gentle meanders. In summer, the surface water temperature in the calmer sections can reach 20–24°C, making it pleasant for swimming, especially in shallow areas and slow-flowing pools. In spring and autumn, the temperature usually ranges between 12–16°C, while in winter it drops to around 4–6°C.
Swimming in the Krka is popular in the warmer months, particularly near small beaches, picnic areas, and spots where the current is mild. The river’s calm sections are ideal for families, casual swimmers, and anyone looking for a refreshing dip on hot days. Canoeing and kayaking are also common, as the river is mostly gentle and navigable.
Outside of summer, swimming is uncommon due to cooler temperatures and faster currents in certain areas. The Krka remains a popular destination for hiking, nature walks, and relaxing by the water. Even a short dip during the summer can be very refreshing and enjoyable.
