*** 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
#Norfolk
Hoveton Great Broad is a shallow, reed-fringed waterbody in the Norfolk Broads where surface temperatures vary with the seasons. In winter the water typically sits around 1–6 °C (34–43 °F), spring warms to roughly 6–14 °C (43–57 °F), summer surface temperatures commonly reach 15–24 °C (59–75 °F) on warm spells, and autumn cools back toward 8–14 °C (46–57 °F). Because the broad is relatively shallow and influenced by weather, temperatures can change quickly and may be colder below the surface than they appear.
There is no designated, lifeguarded bathing area at Hoveton Great Broad and swimming is not officially promoted: the site is valued for wildlife and reedbed conservation, water quality and visibility can be variable, and boat traffic on nearby channels can make informal swimming risky. Visitors often enjoy the area from boats, hides and footpaths instead. Close by are the busy river settlements of Hoveton and Wroxham with boat hire and riverside pubs, plus wider Broads National Park scenery and birdwatching opportunities for those who prefer to stay ashore.
