*** 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.

The Alme River, a tributary of the Lippe, flows through North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, covering a distance of approximately 59 kilometers. It originates from karst springs in the Sauerland region, known for their crystal-clear water, and flows through picturesque villages and natural landscapes before merging with the Lippe. The river’s water temperature is typically cool due to its spring-fed origin, ranging between 6-8°C (43-46°F) in colder months and rising to around 12-18°C (54-64°F) in summer.
Swimming in the Alme is possible but not commonly practiced due to its relatively low water temperature and strong currents in some sections. The river is more popular for activities like wading, picnicking along its banks, or enjoying the scenic beauty of its surroundings. Local authorities occasionally monitor water quality, but it’s recommended to use designated swimming spots or nearby lakes for a safer and more enjoyable experience. The Alme’s clean and refreshing waters are ideal for nature enthusiasts seeking tranquility.
