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
Wevelgem is a city in the Flanders region of Belgium, located along the Lys River (Leie River), which flows through the area into France. The water temperature in the Lys River changes with the seasons, typically cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer. During the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, the water temperature in the river generally ranges from 16°C to 20°C (61°F to 68°F), which may be considered comfortable for swimming in the calmer parts of the river. However, swimming in the Lys River is not widely practiced in Wevelgem, as the water quality can be an issue. Pollution from agricultural runoff, industrial activities, and urban sources can sometimes affect the river's cleanliness, making swimming potentially unsafe. In the winter months, the water temperature drops to around 4°C to 7°C (39°F to 45°F), which would make swimming highly dangerous due to the cold temperatures and stronger currents.
