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.

The Alzette River here is a relatively small, narrow watercourse with water temperatures that generally remain cool throughout the year, even in the warmer months of summer. During summer, the temperature of the Alzette typically stays between 12°C and 18°C (54°F to 64°F), making it too cold for comfortable swimming. The river flows through urban areas and is not typically used as a swimming spot.
Due to its location and water quality considerations, swimming in the Alzette within Esch-sur-Alzette is generally not recommended. Instead, the city offers other recreational facilities, including swimming pools and nearby outdoor parks.
