*** 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
Bergen op Zoom, located near the Eastern Scheldt (Oosterschelde) in the Netherlands, is a popular area for water sports, including swimming. The river's water temperature can vary significantly throughout the year, typically reaching 4-8°C (39-46°F) during the colder months and rising to a more pleasant 17-22°C (63-72°F) in summer. The warmer temperatures during the summer months may seem inviting for swimmers, but the river is known for strong currents, particularly near the dam and channels. Because of the river's tidal nature and occasional strong currents, swimming in open waters is generally not advised for the unprepared swimmer. Local authorities typically recommend designated swimming areas that are monitored for safety and water quality, such as those on beaches in the area, where conditions are more controlled.
