Water Temperature in Waalwijk: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Waalwijk is a city located along the Bergse Maas River in the southern Netherlands. The water temperature in the Bergse Maas varies throughout the year, with the warmest temperatures occurring during the summer months. In summer, the water temperature typically ranges from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which is comfortable for swimming, although it can feel cooler for some swimmers.

While the Bergse Maas offers scenic views and recreational opportunities, swimming in the river near Waalwijk is generally not recommended. The river is often used for commercial and industrial purposes, which can impact water quality, especially during periods of heavy rainfall or runoff from surrounding areas. Additionally, the river's currents can be strong, particularly after rainfall or in deeper sections, which may pose a risk to swimmers. For a safer swimming experience, nearby lakes, outdoor pools, or designated swimming areas are better alternatives, where water quality is more carefully monitored.
