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
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. During the winter months, the temperature of the river drops significantly, often between 4°C and 6°C (39°F to 43°F), making swimming dangerous due to the risk of hypothermia.
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.
