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.

Lac de Guéry, located in the Auvergne region of central France, is a picturesque high-altitude lake nestled at about 1,250 meters (4,100 feet) in the Monts Dore mountain range. Due to its elevation, the lake experiences cooler temperatures throughout the year, with water temperatures in the summer months ranging from 14°C to 18°C (57°F to 64°F). These temperatures make it suitable for swimming, although it can still be chilly for those not accustomed to colder water. The best time for swimming is typically from late June to early September when the lake is most accessible and the water warms up slightly.
While the lake is a popular spot for hikers and nature enthusiasts, its remote location means that there are limited facilities around, so swimmers should be prepared for a more rugged experience. Swimming in Lac de Guéry is ideal for those seeking a refreshing dip after a hike, though the cold water temperatures may limit the duration of the swim. There are no lifeguards or designated swimming areas, so swimmers must take care and swim responsibly. The lake is surrounded by stunning scenery, making it a beautiful and serene place to swim for those who are looking for an adventure in the Alps.
