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
Valkenswaard is a town located along the Dommel River in the southern Netherlands, near the border with Belgium. The water temperature in the Dommel varies throughout the year. In the summer months, the river water can warm up to between 18°C and 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which is generally considered cool but still possible for swimming. During the colder months, the water temperature drops significantly, typically between 4°C and 6°C (39°F to 43°F), making swimming unsafe due to the risk of hypothermia.
While the Dommel River offers some scenic views, swimming in the river near Valkenswaard is generally not recommended. The water quality can vary due to runoff from surrounding agricultural land, and the river's currents may be strong in certain sections, particularly after heavy rainfall. Additionally, the Dommel is not a designated recreational swimming area, and swimming in natural rivers can pose risks such as sudden changes in depth or hidden obstacles. For a safer swimming experience, it’s better to visit nearby lakes, outdoor pools, or designated swimming areas where water quality and safety are monitored.
