*** 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 Rába River, flowing through both Austria and Hungary, is a tributary of the Danube and has its source in the Austrian state of Styria. It meanders through a range of landscapes, from the Alpine foothills to the lowlands of Hungary. The river's water temperature is generally moderate, with summer temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F) in the lower stretches. In the upper parts of the river, particularly near its source, temperatures are cooler, typically around 10°C to 14°C (50°F to 57°F), making swimming in these areas less comfortable.
Swimming in the Rába is possible, especially in the calmer, shallower sections during the summer months. These sections can offer a refreshing break for those looking to cool off, though caution should be taken near areas with stronger currents or deeper waters. The river is more popular for fishing, canoeing, and hiking along its scenic banks. For those seeking a more traditional swimming experience, nearby lakes or public swimming pools offer warmer and more controlled environments.
