*** 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
Located in Lower Saxony, Germany, the city of Stade lies on the southwestern bank of the River Elbe, one of the major rivers of Central Europe. The river influences the local climate, and, by extension, its temperature primarily relies on the general weather conditions at different periods of the year. In the summer, not dissimilar from other rivers in temperate zones, the Elbe surface water temperature can range from 15-24°C (59-75°F); however, these temperatures can significantly decrease during the winter periods.
Swimming in the Elbe River at Stade is generally discouraged, especially for inexperienced swimmers. Firstly, the Elbe River is quite a busy shipping route with a lot of vessel traffic, including large container ships coming from the nearby Hamburg port. These may present a collision hazard for swimmers. Secondly, despite the water quality of the Elbe River overall being average to good, in some places the Elbe River suffers from pollution, including occasional algal blooms, which can create less than ideal conditions for swimming. Lastly, the river’s currents and undercurrents may be deceptive and dangerous, even for stronger swimmers.
