*** 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 Blies River flows through northeastern France and southwestern Germany, where it merges with the Saar River. This small but scenic river is appreciated for its tranquil surroundings and is part of the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve, known for its biodiversity. Water temperatures in the Blies during summer months range from 16°C to 22°C (61°F to 72°F), making it suitable for some recreational activities. In winter, the temperature drops significantly, often nearing freezing.
Swimming in the Blies is uncommon due to its shallow depth in many areas and the potential for fluctuating water quality. Nevertheless, during warm summer months, certain stretches of the river may be used for wading or cooling off. It is essential to confirm local conditions and water quality, as the Blies primarily serves as a habitat for wildlife and a destination for nature lovers rather than a swimming spot.
