*** 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
Kortrijk is a city located in the Flanders region of Belgium, situated along the Lys River (also known as the Leie River). The water temperature of the Lys River fluctuates with the seasons, with warmer temperatures during the summer and cooler temperatures in the winter. In the summer months, the river's water temperature can range from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), making it more tolerable for swimming, though it may still feel cool due to the river's flow and depth. While swimming in the Lys River is not widely practiced, it is possible in certain calm areas, particularly in designated zones or near recreational spots. However, swimming is generally not recommended in most sections of the river due to concerns about water quality, strong currents, and debris. During the winter months, water temperatures can drop to 4°C to 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming unsafe and unpleasant due to the cold water and strong currents.
