*** 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 Malše River, flowing through South Bohemia, is a smaller tributary that offers a natural and tranquil setting for summer bathing. Due to its modest size and relatively shallow depth, the water warms more quickly than in larger rivers, often reaching 20–23 °C in the warmest weeks of July and August. However, since the Malše has a steady flow, it tends to remain cooler than nearby ponds, giving swimmers a refreshing experience, especially on hot days.
In many places along its banks, the Malše provides accessible entry points and calm stretches that are suitable for swimming. Locals often use these informal spots to cool off, relax, or spend time with family and friends by the water. The river’s peaceful surroundings, combined with its comfortably cool summer temperatures, make it a pleasant choice for those who enjoy natural swimming in a quiet, less crowded environment.
