*** 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
Lake Ketelmeer, situated in the Netherlands between the provinces of Flevoland and Overijssel, is part of the IJsselmeer lake system. It is a transition area between the IJssel River and the larger IJsselmeer, which makes it an interesting location for water recreation. In the summer months, water temperatures in Ketelmeer generally range from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which can be comfortable for swimming in designated areas. Although swimming is allowed, it’s important to check local advisories as Ketelmeer’s proximity to river inlets can affect water quality, especially after heavy rainfall.
The lake’s waters are usually calm, making it suitable for a range of water sports. However, designated swimming areas are limited compared to other lakes, as parts of Ketelmeer have been affected by historical sediment pollution. This pollution is mostly isolated, but it remains a reason for caution in some zones. Recreational spots around the lake are popular for boating and fishing, and nearby beaches have accessible shallow areas. In winter, the water temperature in Ketelmeer drops to around 4°C to 8°C (39°F to 46°F), making it too cold for regular swimming but a site of interest for cold-water swimmers.
