*** 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
#Norfolk
Wroxham Broad, part of the Norfolk Broads near the village of Wroxham and Hoveton, has generally cool water temperatures that vary with the seasons. In winter the surface typically sits around 4–6°C (39–43°F), rising in spring to roughly 6–12°C (43–54°F). Summer temperatures are most comfortable for bathing, commonly 18–22°C (64–72°F) and occasionally reaching about 23°C (73°F) in warm spells, while autumn usually cools back to 10–15°C (50–59°F). These are approximate surface readings and can change with weather, depth and tides in connected channels.
Swimming at Wroxham Broad is possible but not formally designated as a controlled bathing area, so there are no lifeguards and water quality and safety can be variable. Boat traffic, submerged vegetation, and sudden depth changes mean swimmers should take care, use buoyancy aids if unsure and check local advice before entering the water. Nearby attractions include boat hire and river tours from Wroxham, riverside pubs and trails, the wider Norfolk Broads National Park for wildlife watching, and the village amenities of Hoveton.
