*** 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.

Location & Local Information
Graz, the capital of Styria in Austria, is situated along the Mur River, which flows through the city from south to north. The river's water temperature fluctuates throughout the year, typically ranging from 5°C to 18°C (41°F to 64°F), depending on the season. In summer, the river can reach temperatures around 18°C to 20°C (64°F to 68°F), but its flow remains relatively swift due to its alpine origins, keeping the water cooler than lakes in the area.
While swimming directly in the Mur within Graz is not widely recommended due to the river's currents and water quality, some areas along the river offer recreational opportunities. The riverbanks are often used for walking, cycling, and enjoying the scenic views. For swimming and water sports, residents and visitors prefer the nearby swimming pools or the Grazer Badesee, a local lake that offers a controlled environment for swimming. Graz also has access to the wider Styrian region, where many natural lakes are available for safe swimming.
