*** 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
Horsfjärden is a lake in Östergötland County, Sweden. Seasonal surface temperatures typically range from near freezing in winter, about 0–4 °C (32–39 °F), to cool in spring, roughly 4–12 °C (39–54 °F). In summer the water commonly warms to about 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) and on warm, calm days can reach the mid-20s °C (around 75–77 °F). During autumn temperatures usually fall back to the 8–14 °C range (46–57 °F). These values vary with weather, depth, and local inflows, so actual temperatures at a given spot and time may differ.
Swimming at Horsfjärden is generally possible and commonly practiced during the warmer months where there are public access points or established bathing spots. In summer the temperatures are comfortable for casual swimming; in late spring and early autumn the water is cooler and may feel brisk. Winter brings ice cover, which prevents ordinary swimming, although some people practice ice bathing with appropriate safety precautions. Local regulations, private shoreline ownership and periodic water quality advisories can affect where and when bathing is permitted, so it is advisable to check local guidance before entering the water.
