Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Eger River, known as the Ohře in Czech, flows through parts of eastern Germany, primarily in Bavaria, before entering the Czech Republic. The river features a cool temperature profile typical of mountain-fed systems, with water temperatures in summer generally ranging between 12–18°C, depending on local conditions and weather patterns. This makes the Eger a refreshing spot but potentially too cold for extended swimming sessions for some individuals.
Swimming in the Eger is not a common activity, as the river's primary appeal lies in its scenic surroundings and opportunities for other recreational pursuits like hiking and fishing. While certain stretches of the river may allow for wading or brief dips, it is not officially designated as a swimming river. Visitors should always take precautions, as natural rivers like the Eger may have strong currents, uneven riverbeds, and varying depths, which can pose risks to swimmers.
