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
Geraardsbergen is a historic city located in the province of East Flanders, Belgium, situated along the Dender River. The water temperature of the Dender River can vary throughout the year, with warmer temperatures in the summer months and cooler temperatures in the winter. During summer, the water temperature can range from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which may make swimming more feasible for those willing to brave the cool currents. However, swimming in the Dender River is not commonly recommended due to concerns about water quality, currents, and safety. The river is more frequently used for recreational boating, fishing, and cycling along its banks, with limited access to swimming areas. In the winter, water temperatures can drop to between 4°C and 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming dangerous and unsuitable.
