*** 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
Senftenberg, situated in Brandenburg, Germany, is beautifully set on the Black Elster River, a place known for its scenic beauty and mild climates. Water temperature in the Black Elster River varies throughout the year, but it is normally at its highest in the summer months, specifically between June and August. The average water temperature during these warm months can range between 17 to 24 degrees Celsius. The winter can get quite cold, with water temperatures returning to between 4 to 8 degrees Celsius.
In regard to swimming, the Black Elster River might not be the first choice, as it is a typical lowland river with a slow current and it has quite a muddy bottom, but it is still possible. However, in Senftenberg, water enthusiasts usually head towards the Senftenberger See, an artificial lake nearby the city. Senftenberger See provides sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue water, and thanks to a consistent temperature range similar to the river in the summer, it becomes an ideal place for swimmers, sunbathers, and water sports enthusiasts. There are lifeguards on duty in lake bathrooms, making it a safer option for swimming compared to the river.
