*** 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 Elde River, located in northern Germany, is a tributary of the Elbe and flows through the regions of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg. The river has a relatively mild water temperature, with temperatures averaging around 5°C (41°F) during the colder months and rising to 18-22°C (64-72°F) during the summer. In the warmer months, especially in June, July, and August, the Elde becomes more suitable for swimming, particularly in sections where the water flow is calm. The river’s clear, fresh water makes it an attractive option for those seeking a natural swimming experience in the region.
However, while the river offers excellent opportunities for swimming in the summer, its use for recreational purposes, such as swimming, is not widespread and lacks official designated swimming areas. The river is sometimes affected by agricultural runoff, which can impact water quality, particularly in regions closer to farmland. As a result, it is recommended to ensure the water clarity and flow conditions are safe before entering, particularly in areas where the river’s flow is strong. Swimmers should also be mindful of water levels, as the Elde can be subject to seasonal fluctuations and heavy rainfall.
