*** 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
Orlunden (Swedish: Orlunden) in Blekinge typically shows clear seasonal variation in water temperature. In spring, April–June, surface temperatures commonly range from about 4–12 °C (39–54 °F) as the lake warms after ice melt. Peak summer months, July–August, often reach roughly 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) in sheltered, shallow areas and somewhat cooler in deeper parts. During autumn the water cools back to around 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) in September–October, and in winter the surface can drop to near freezing, 0–4 °C (32–39 °F), with ice cover possible during the coldest periods.
Swimming at Orlunden is generally allowed, since most Swedish lakes are open for bathing unless specific restrictions apply, and people commonly swim there in summer when temperatures are most comfortable. Local factors such as water quality, algae blooms, underwater vegetation, access points and current weather can affect suitability; municipalities sometimes monitor bathing waters and post guidance. Caution is advised outside midsummer: colder temperatures increase the risk of cold shock and hypothermia, and lifeguards are usually not present. Shallow bays warm faster and are better for casual swimming, while ice swimming should only be done with proper safety measures.
