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 Durme is a river in Belgium that flows through East Flanders, connecting several towns, including Dendermonde and Lokeren, before eventually joining the Scheldt River. It has a length of about 50 kilometers and is known for its tranquil and picturesque landscapes. The water temperature in the Durme varies depending on the time of year and weather conditions, typically ranging from 15°C to 22°C (59°F to 72°F) during the warmer months, making it comfortable for swimming. However, this can fluctuate with rainfall and the season, and during the colder months, the temperature can drop to around 5°C to 8°C (41°F to 46°F), making swimming much less appealing and potentially unsafe.
Swimming in the Durme is possible, especially during the summer months when the water temperature is more pleasant. There are some designated areas where locals and tourists may swim, and the calm waters make it suitable for activities like canoeing and fishing. However, it's essential to keep in mind that the water quality may vary, particularly in areas near urban or agricultural zones where pollution or runoff can affect the safety of the water. Before swimming, it's advisable to check local water quality reports to ensure that it is safe. Furthermore, the Durme is a river with limited infrastructure for public swimming, so it’s important to be cautious and aware of the conditions at any given time.
