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
Oberhausen, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is found on the banks of the Emscher River. The Emscher was traditionally a small and relatively insignificant river until the rapid expansion of the Ruhr industrial area in the 19th century. At that time, it was adjusted to work as a primary and large-scale sewage canal, which is why it often isn't a typical river for swimming.
As for the water temperature of the Emscher River, it varies throughout the year. It can get quite cold during the winter months, falling to around 4-6 degrees Celsius. In the summer, a significant increase is seen, and the temperature can reach 18-20 degrees Celsius, which feels quite cool compared to typical swimming temperatures. Despite these temperatures, please be aware that swimming in this river is generally not recommended due to its troubled history and ongoing challenges with pollution. The Emscher River, unfortunately, has suffered from severe pollution due to industrial waste and sewage, although efforts are underway to clean it up and restore it to a natural state.
