*** 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 Secchia (Italian: Secchia) is a mid-sized river in Emilia-Romagna whose water temperature changes noticeably with the seasons. In winter the river tends to be cold, often between about 2 and 6 °C (36–43 °F) except during thaw or unusual warm spells. Spring temperatures typically rise from roughly 6 up to 16 °C (43–61 °F) as snowmelt and rain feed the flow. By summer, surface temperatures in calmer, shallower stretches can reach around 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), although deeper or faster sections remain cooler. During autumn the river cools again to roughly 8–18 °C (46–64 °F) as air temperatures fall and rainfall patterns change.
Swimming in the Secchia is possible in many local spots, but it is not uniformly recommended everywhere. Municipalities sometimes designate safe bathing areas and monitor water quality, yet other stretches are subject to strong currents, fluctuating flows, turbidity after rains, private property limits, or restrictions near hydraulic works and bridges. Water quality can vary seasonally, so local advisories and signage should be checked before entering. In short, bathing is allowed in suitable, officially or locally accepted places, but swimmers should choose monitored areas, be aware of current and sudden depth changes, and follow any posted rules for safety.
