*** 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
Lokeren is a city in the Flanders region of Belgium, located along the Durme River. The water temperature in the Durme River fluctuates with the seasons, being warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter. In the summer months, the water temperature can range from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which is generally comfortable for swimming in calmer sections of the river. However, swimming in the Durme River is not widely practiced, as the river’s current can be strong in some areas, and concerns about water quality can make it less ideal for recreational swimming. The river is more commonly used for activities such as fishing, kayaking, and boating. During the winter months, the water temperature drops to around 4°C to 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming unsafe due to the cold water and the potential for strong currents.
