*** 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
Riesa is a city in the state of Saxony, Germany, seated on the banks of the Elbe River. The city boasts a significant amount of tourist and recreational activities, centered around the river. The Elbe River's water conditions vary considerably throughout the year. During the summer, the water temperature generally ranges from 18 to 20 degrees Celsius (64.4 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit), which is typically sufficiently agreeable for swimming. However, in winter, the temperatures can drop significantly, causing the river to be too cold for comfortable swimming.
The Elbe River, on which Riesa is located, has been used historically for swimming and other recreational water-based activities. However, potential swimmers should be aware that the river has strong currents and can be deep in places. Besides, the water quality might depend on weather conditions, rainfall, and human impact, in particular. While there is no official health advisory against swimming in the Elbe, it’s always important to assess the current conditions, gauge your personal ability, and adhere to any local warnings or signs. It’s recommended to participate in water activities via organized groups or clubs for safety reasons and to possibly have lifeguard surveillance.
