Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). The water is slightly warmer, but still cool for most people. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used. 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 Marcal River is a smaller tributary of the Rába, flowing through western Hungary. Its water warms up fairly quickly in the summer months, often reaching 20–23°C during warm periods. Because of its modest size and gentle flow in many sections, the river can feel inviting on hot days, but it is not widely used as a designated swimming spot. The quality of the water and varying depths make it more suitable for short refreshment rather than regular bathing.
For locals, the Marcal is often appreciated more for its natural setting, fishing opportunities, and calm riverside atmosphere than for swimming. Those looking for organized and safe bathing usually head to nearby lakes or thermal baths, while the Marcal remains a quieter, more natural waterway, best enjoyed for relaxation by the shore.
