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 Alz River is a scenic waterway in southern Germany, flowing through the Upper Bavaria region and eventually joining the Inn River. Known for its clear waters and beautiful natural surroundings, the Alz offers a variety of outdoor activities, including swimming, particularly during the warmer months. The water temperature in the Alz typically ranges between 14°C to 20°C (57°F to 68°F) in the summer, which is cool but pleasant enough for swimming, especially in calm, shallow areas. In spring and autumn, the temperatures can drop, so swimming may be less comfortable.
Swimming in the Alz is generally safe, as the river is well-known for its clean and clear water, especially near areas like the Alzkanal, which is often used for recreational purposes. However, swimmers should always be cautious of the current, as some sections of the river can have faster-moving water, particularly in areas near dams or steep banks. It’s also advisable to swim only in designated swimming zones where safety measures are in place. Local authorities typically monitor water quality, but it’s always best to check for current conditions before swimming, especially after heavy rainfall when the river flow can increase.
