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
Feldkirch, located in the westernmost state of Austria, Vorarlberg, is a historic city that lies on the Ill River. The Ill, a tributary of the Rhine, is primarily fed by alpine streams and meltwater, which keeps its water temperatures quite cool. During the summer months, the river's temperature typically ranges from 10°C to 16°C (50°F to 61°F). These cooler temperatures, along with the river's strong currents in certain sections, make it less suitable for swimming.
Although swimming in the Ill River near Feldkirch is generally not common due to safety concerns, the river is a popular spot for activities such as riverside picnics, fishing, and hiking along its banks. For those seeking swimming opportunities, nearby lakes or public swimming pools in and around Feldkirch provide safer and more comfortable alternatives. The Ill River’s alpine beauty and surrounding landscape contribute to its charm as a natural feature of Feldkirch.
