How the inner Bay of Kotor is reading right now for a swim — water temperature, wind and any chop — from the Open-Meteo forecast. The bay is sheltered, so on a calm summer day it stays glassy and warm; it's the wind that changes the water.
The bay's winds
Three winds shape a swim here. The bura (cold, from the north-east off the mountains) can arrive suddenly and bring chop and colder water. The jugo (warm, from the south-east) brings rain and pushes swell up from the mouth of the bay. The maestral (north-west) is the gentle summer sea-breeze that keeps hot afternoons pleasant.

A forecast is not a lifeguard
These are open-water model forecasts, not spot-by-spot readings — shelter, tide and wind change what the water actually feels like at each beach. There are no lifeguards here — you swim at your own risk. Check the sea before you get in, don’t swim alone, and if in doubt, don’t go out. In an emergency at sea, call 112.
