*** 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
Præstø Fjord (Præstø Fjord) on Zealand is a shallow, partly sheltered brackish inlet whose water temperatures vary noticeably through the year. Typical seasonal ranges are roughly 0–5 °C (32–41 °F) in winter, 5–12 °C (41–54 °F) in spring, 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) in summer, and 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) in autumn. Shallow bays and sheltered arms warm more quickly in calm, sunny weather, so summer swimming can feel pleasantly mild, while wind and runoff in other seasons keep temperatures lower. Local measurements and conditions vary from year to year, and sudden changes in weather can alter surface temperatures quickly.
Swimming is generally allowed along the fjord where public beaches and designated bathing spots exist, and many people use the shoreline for recreational swimming in warm months. Bathing water quality is monitored in Denmark, but occasional algal blooms, agricultural runoff or temporary bacterial spikes can lead to advisories or local restrictions, so signage and municipal notices should be checked. Cold-water swimming is practiced by some year-round enthusiasts, but winter bathing carries real risks of cold shock and should only be attempted with proper precautions and experience.
