Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). The water is slightly warmer, but still cool for most people. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit 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.

Location & Local Information

The river Het Scheur is a tidal channel in the Netherlands, connecting the ports of Rotterdam to the North Sea, and part of the larger waterway network that facilitates shipping in the region. It lies in the province of South Holland and is an important route for maritime traffic. The water temperature in Het Scheur varies throughout the year. In the winter months, temperatures can drop to around 4°C to 8°C (39°F to 46°F), while in the summer, the temperature typically ranges between 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), depending on weather conditions and the time of year.

However, swimming in Het Scheur is generally not advisable. The river is primarily a busy shipping channel with fast-moving waters and heavy industrial activity nearby. The water quality can also be compromised due to the high volume of cargo ships passing through, and potential contamination from industrial and urban runoff. Due to these factors, the river is not a safe environment for recreational swimming. For safer swimming opportunities, people tend to seek out designated swimming areas or lakes within the region.
