Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. 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 Enns River, flowing through central Austria, is one of the country's longest and most important rivers, draining the Northern Limestone Alps before merging into the Danube River. The water temperature of the Enns River can vary depending on the season and location, but during the summer months, it typically ranges between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F), which is considered comfortable for swimming. The river's temperature can be cooler in the upper reaches, particularly in its mountainous sections, where it flows more quickly and is fed by alpine streams. These areas may have water temperatures around 10°C to 12°C (50°F to 54°F), which can be too cold for most swimmers.
Swimming in the Enns is popular in calmer, slower-moving sections, particularly in the lower parts of the river, where the water is warmer and safer for recreational activities. The river is often used for canoeing, fishing, and walking along its scenic banks. Some areas are well-suited for swimming, especially during the summer, when the temperature is more inviting. However, swimmers should be cautious in sections with stronger currents or deep pools, which can pose a risk. For those seeking a more controlled swimming experience, nearby lakes or public swimming pools offer a more comfortable alternative.
