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
The Bijlands Kanaal is a canal in the Netherlands that runs through the province of Gelderland. It was constructed as a part of the larger water management system and is mainly used for navigation and irrigation purposes. The canal is relatively narrow compared to some of the larger rivers, but it still presents some challenges when it comes to swimming due to its fast-moving water and industrial surroundings. Swimming is generally not recommended in the Bijlands Kanaal, especially in the sections where water traffic is frequent, and in areas with industrial activities.
Water temperatures in the Bijlands Kanaal can fluctuate depending on the season. In the colder months, the water temperature typically stays around 5°C to 8°C (41°F to 46°F), while in summer, it can rise to between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Although the summer temperatures may seem inviting for swimming, the canal's currents can still be strong, and water quality might be affected by agricultural runoff or nearby industrial operations. If you are planning to swim in the Bijlands Kanaal, it's advisable to check the water quality reports and to swim only in designated areas that are safe for recreational activities.
