*** 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

Rumst is a municipality in the Flanders region of Belgium, located along the Rupel River, which is a tributary of the Scheldt River. The water temperature in the Rupel River varies with the seasons, typically being cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer. During the summer months, the water temperature in the Rupel can range from 16°C to 20°C (61°F to 68°F), which may be suitable for swimming in calmer areas of the river. However, swimming in the Rupel is not commonly practiced, primarily due to concerns about water quality, the presence of industrial runoff, and strong currents in some sections of the river. The Rupel River is mainly used for recreational boating, fishing, and cycling along its scenic banks. In the winter months, the water temperature drops to between 4°C and 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming unsafe due to the cold water and potential strong currents.
