*** 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.

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.

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.
