*** 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 Starnberg, located just south of Munich, is one of the largest lakes in Bavaria and a popular spot for swimming and water activities. The lake offers a mix of shallow and deeper areas, making it suitable for a wide range of swimming experiences. The water temperature at Lake Starnberg tends to be most pleasant for swimming from late spring through early autumn, typically reaching temperatures of around 18°C (64°F) in May and rising to a comfortable 22-24°C (72-75°F) during the peak summer months of July and August. Early autumn can still offer pleasant swimming conditions with temperatures around 18°C. However, in winter and early spring, the water temperature can drop to below 10°C (50°F), making swimming impractical for most people.
Swimming at Lake Starnberg is possible at several designated public beaches around the lake, many of which are equipped with facilities such as sunbathing areas, changing rooms, and snack bars. The clear, clean water makes it an attractive location for both recreational swimming and water sports. Visitors can enjoy not only swimming but also boating, sailing, and stand-up paddleboarding. The scenic views of the surrounding Alps further enhance the appeal of swimming here. While the lake is generally safe for swimming, it's important to note that it has some deeper and cooler sections that may not be ideal for everyone, particularly in the colder months.
