Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). The water is slightly warmer, but still cool for most people. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Aursjøen is a highland reservoir in Møre og Romsdal, Norway, and its water temperatures reflect its mountain climate and regulated water levels. In winter the surface is typically at or below freezing and often ice-covered, around 0 °C (32 °F) or colder under the ice. During spring thaw temperatures usually remain very low, roughly 0–6 °C (32–43 °F). In early summer the lake commonly warms to about 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), while the warmest weeks of midsummer may see surface temperatures in the order of 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) in sheltered bays on warm years. By autumn the water cools again, falling into the single digits, roughly 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), before refreezing.
Swimming in Aursjøen is physically possible but limited by cold temperatures, remoteness and reservoir-related hazards. Cold-water shock and rapid heat loss are real risks even in summer when surface temperatures are relatively low, and the lake’s status as a regulated reservoir can mean strong currents, sudden level changes near intakes and spillways, and steep or rocky shorelines. There are no widespread lifeguarded beaches, so if people choose to swim they should take precautions: avoid swimming alone, stay clear of outflow structures, consider a wetsuit, and be mindful of rapidly changing weather and water conditions.
