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 Dordtsche Kil is a tidal river in the Netherlands, situated near the city of Dordrecht, connecting the Oude Maas and Hollands Diep. The water temperature typically ranges from 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F) in the colder months and can rise to 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F) during the summer. The temperature is influenced by tidal movements and the river's connection to larger water systems, including the North Sea.
Swimming in the Dordtsche Kil is not recommended due to the presence of strong currents, variable depths, and heavy commercial shipping traffic. The river is part of an active waterway system, making it unsafe for casual recreational swimming. However, the area offers excellent opportunities for boating and water sports. Those looking for safe swimming spots are advised to visit nearby lakes or designated recreational areas with better facilities and safer conditions for swimmers.
