*** 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
Amersfoort, located in the central Netherlands, is a city known for its rich history and beautiful canals, but its water bodies are not typically popular for recreational swimming. The city's waterways, such as the Eem river, which flows through Amersfoort, are often used for transportation or industrial purposes rather than leisure activities. The water temperature in the Eem river fluctuates throughout the year, with warmer temperatures during the summer months (usually between 15°C to 20°C) and much colder conditions in winter, where it can dip below 5°C. Due to these lower temperatures and the busy nature of the waterways, swimming is generally not recommended in the river itself.
In Amersfoort, there are designated swimming areas that are more suitable for leisure and safety. For example, the nearby lakes, such as the Vallei and the Leusderheide, offer swimming opportunities with controlled water quality. These spots are favored by both locals and tourists during the summer months, with cleaner water and a more relaxing atmosphere. These lakes tend to have milder water temperatures, especially in the summer, ranging from 18°C to 22°C, making them more suitable for swimming than the rivers.
