*** 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
Söderhamn (in Swedish - Söderhamn) sits in Gävleborg County surrounded by forests, lakes and smaller rivers. In the inland water bodies around the municipality, seasonal temperatures vary markedly: in spring (April–May) lakes typically register about 6–12 °C (43–54 °F) as they thaw, rising in early summer (June) to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Midsummer months (July–August) commonly see lake temperatures in the 18–24 °C range (64–75 °F), and during warm spells small, sheltered lakes can reach the mid-20s °C (mid-70s °F). By autumn (September–October) waters cool again to around 10–15 °C (50–59 °F), and in winter lakes and many rivers hover at or below freezing (0 °C / 32 °F) and often freeze solid. Rivers are generally cooler and more variable than lakes, frequently a few degrees Celsius lower (roughly 2–6 °C / 4–11 °F difference) because of flow and shading.
Swimming in Söderhamn’s lakes and rivers is generally permitted under Swedish access rules and is popular in summer where beaches and municipal bathing sites are maintained. Local authorities monitor water quality at designated spots and safety depends on currents, depth and temperature; colder river water and fast flow present risks even in warm weather. In winter, regular ice swimming is practiced in supervised groups or facilities, but open-water swimming on frozen or unstable ice is unsafe and not recommended.
