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.

Egelsee is a small, shallow lake on the eastern edge of Bern, surrounded by reeds and protected wetlands. Because of its limited depth, water temperature reacts quickly to air conditions. In winter, the lake often cools to about 1–3 °C (34–37 °F) and may freeze during cold periods. In spring, temperatures rise relatively fast to around 10–15 °C (50–59 °F). During summer, surface temperatures can reach approximately 22–26 °C (72–79 °F) on warm days. In autumn, the water cools again quickly, usually falling below 12 °C (54 °F).
Swimming in Egelsee is not allowed. The lake is designated as a protected natural area, important for wildlife and sensitive aquatic ecosystems. Recreational activities such as bathing would disturb habitats and affect water quality. Although summer temperatures may appear suitable for swimming, visitors are expected to enjoy the area quietly, for walking and nature observation rather than water-based recreation.
