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
Source Trebišnjica wellsprings group is a system consisting of 3 large karst spring zones, with Dejanova Pećina as primer wellspring
Length 96.5 km (60.0 mi)
The Trebišnjica River, running through Trebinje in Herzegovina, is one of the world's longest sinking rivers, characterized by its karst environment and hydro-power utilization. The river's original cold nature is influenced by the surrounding reservoirs (like Bileća Lake). In winter, the water is cool, generally maintaining temperatures between 12∘C and 14∘C near Trebinje, rarely freezing. However, during the summer, the wide, slower sections near the city allow the surface water to warm significantly, commonly reaching a pleasant range of 22∘C to 26∘C in July and August.
Swimming in the Trebišnjica River is a very popular and culturally accepted summer activity in Trebinje. Due to the river's calm flow and clean water quality—often officially monitored and rated as excellent, especially in controlled areas—it is considered a safe destination for public recreation. The city has established popular, maintained bathing spots along the riverbanks, such as those near the city center, where locals and tourists enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and various water sports during the warm season.
