*** 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

Freiburg, located in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany, is known for its scenic beauty and historic charm. It is situated on the Dreisam river, which is a significant waterbody in the region. The Dreisam is a swift river that draws its water from the Black Forest mountain range, resulting in cooler temperatures. As such, the water temperature in the Dreisam river generally remain cold, particularly in the non-summer months.

Swimming in the Dreisam is certainly possible but it mostly depends on the current weather and water conditions. The clarity and cleanliness of the river is often high, but the river's temperature can be quite chilly, so it may not be the most comfortable for those who are not accustomed to swimming in colder water. It's important to note that the river can sometimes be fast-flowing, especially after periods of heavy rain, posing a potential risk to swimmers. Additionally, swimming is not officially permitted in all areas of the Dreisam, so local regulations and areas should be checked beforehand.
