*** 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
Borås (in Swedish: Borås) in Västra Götaland County is surrounded by inland lakes and smaller rivers whose surface temperatures vary markedly with the seasons. In winter many lakes freeze or sit close to 0 °C (32 °F), making immersion hazardous. Spring brings thaw and a slow rise in water temperature from roughly 2–10 °C (36–50 °F) through March–May. The warmest period is June to August when sheltered lake surfaces commonly reach 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) and on warm spells may climb to about 24–25 °C (75–77 °F). In autumn temperatures fall again to roughly 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) before lakes refreeze. Rivers tend to be a few degrees cooler than still water in summer and can remain colder and faster-flowing, especially after rain.
Swimming in Borås’ lakes and rivers is generally permitted under Sweden’s access rights, and many people swim at designated bathing spots in summer. Local authorities usually monitor popular bathing sites for water quality and post advisories if there are algal blooms or bacterial issues. Safety considerations include cold-water shock outside midsummer, variable visibility and depth, and stronger currents in rivers, so swimmers are advised to use marked beaches, heed local notices, and avoid solitary long swims.
