*** 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.

Location & Local Information

The Rijeka Crnojevića River flows through the picturesque region of central Montenegro, connecting the Skadar Lake area with the surrounding hills and wetlands. Known for its calm flow and clear green-blue water, it is one of the most scenic small rivers in the country. Because of its proximity to Skadar Lake and the low altitude, the river has relatively mild water temperatures throughout the year. In spring, the temperature ranges between 13 and 17 °C, while in summer it reaches 22–27 °C. During autumn, it cools to 15–20 °C, and in winter it usually stays above 8 °C thanks to the mild climate. The slow flow and shallow depth make the river pleasant for recreation.

Swimming in the Rijeka Crnojevića is allowed and popular during summer months, particularly from June to September. The warm, clean water and easy access from the small town make it ideal for bathing and short swims. Locals and visitors often swim near the stone bridge or along calmer stretches surrounded by lush vegetation. Besides swimming, the river is also known for boating and fishing. Its tranquil environment, combined with comfortable summer water temperatures, makes the Rijeka Crnojevića one of Montenegro’s most charming freshwater spots.
