*** 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
Kerteminde Fjord, a shallow coastal fjord on the northeastern coast of Funen in the Region of Southern Denmark, has water temperatures that vary markedly through the year. In winter the fjord often ranges from about 0–4 °C (32–39 °F), with spring warming from roughly 4–12 °C (39–54 °F) as daylight and runoff increase. Summer temperatures in the more sheltered bays and shallow areas typically reach 16–22 °C (61–72 °F), and on warm, calm days localized pockets can approach 24 °C (75 °F). Autumn brings cooling back toward 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) before the onset of winter chill. These ranges depend on wind, depth and freshwater inflow, so conditions can change from one part of the fjord to another.
Swimming and bathing are commonly practised in and around Kerteminde Fjord and are generally permitted because the shoreline and waters serve recreational purposes managed by local authorities. The municipality monitors water quality at popular beaches and posts warnings if algal blooms, heavy runoff or contamination occur, so swimmers are advised to heed local signage and advisories. Safety considerations such as boat traffic, variable depths and cold-water risks in shoulder seasons mean that conditions should be assessed locally before entering the water.
