*** 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.

Dorsten is a beautiful city located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This city is notably positioned on the Lippe River, which in itself is a significant tourism draw. However, detailed information regarding the specific water temperatures of the Lippe River in Dorsten may not be readily available due to the river's naturally fluctuating conditions. The water temperatures of rivers can commonly vary with the changing seasons, time of day, and weather conditions.
