*** 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 Ondava River in eastern Slovakia is a medium-sized river that flows through lowlands and gently rolling hills. Its water temperature changes with the seasons — in spring it remains cool due to snowmelt and rainfall, while in summer it can warm up to around 18–22 °C on hot days. Shallow stretches and side arms of the river often heat up faster than the main channel, making them more pleasant for casual bathing.
Swimming in the Ondava is possible, though it is not a typical destination for organized swimming like lakes or reservoirs. Locals sometimes use calm sections of the river to cool down during summer, especially in places where access to the bank is easy and the current is gentle. Still, caution is advisable, since the water level and flow can change quickly after heavy rain, and some parts of the riverbed may be uneven.
