Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 68°F (20°C) to 74°F (23°C). The water is warm and pleasant for swimming, and in this range, one can stay in the water for extended periods without the risk of hypothermia. This is the ideal temperature for relaxation, swimming, and water sports. Families with children, as well as outdoor enthusiasts, will enjoy swimming and time spent in the water. For most people, this is the optimal temperature for a comfortable beach experience. 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 Săsar, a small river in north‑west Romania that runs through the Baia Mare area, exhibits the kind of seasonal temperature variability typical of shallow, temperate streams. In winter the water commonly approaches freezing, roughly 0–4 °C (32–39 °F). Spring temperatures climb as snowmelt and runoff decrease, often ranging from about 4–12 °C (39–54 °F). During summer the shallow sections can warm substantially, commonly falling between 15–24 °C (59–75 °F) on warm days, though shaded or faster-flowing stretches stay cooler. In autumn the river cools again, with temperatures often around 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) as air temperatures drop and precipitation patterns change. Local variations are common: depth, flow rate, sunlight exposure and recent weather all affect instantaneous readings.
Swimming in the Săsar is generally not promoted as an organized recreational activity. There are few if any designated bathing areas, and water quality has been variable historically because of urban and industrial influences, so authorities typically advise caution; in addition, variable currents, shallow depths and lack of lifeguards make formal swimming unsafe in many places. While locals may occasionally wade or swim in calmer, cleaner stretches during warm summer days, anyone considering entering the river should check recent water‑quality information and local guidance before doing so.
