*** 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

Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a city located in Northern Germany on the banks of the Unterwarnow River. This river drains into the Baltic Sea, a body of water known for its relatively cold temperatures. The average temperature of the Unterwarnow River tends to follow the seasonal patterns of the local climate, with the water typically warmer in the summer months and cooler in the winter months. On average, in the summer months (June-August), the water temperature is about 17-20°C (63-68°F). During the winter months, water temperatures can drop considerably, often to near freezing levels.

Despite the water temperature being quite refreshing during the summer, it's important to stress that swimming in the Unterwarnow River is not typically recommended. The river is a busy shipping route with heavy boat traffic, making it unsafe for recreational swimming. The water quality of the river may also be a concern due to urban runoff and potential pollution. However, if you are looking for a place to swim, there are plenty of alternatives in and around Rostock. The city has several swimming pools and is also located near the Baltic Sea, where there are a number of beaches that offer safer swimming experiences, albeit with similar water temperatures.
