*** 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 Hoëgne River flows through the picturesque Ardennes region of Belgium, particularly near the town of Theux. Known for its natural beauty, the river is surrounded by dense forests, rolling hills, and rocky terrains, making it a popular spot for outdoor activities such as hiking and kayaking. The water temperature in the Hoëgne River is typically cool year-round. In the winter months, the temperature can drop to around 5°C to 7°C (41°F to 45°F), while in summer, it may rise slightly to between 15°C and 18°C (59°F to 64°F). This makes the river suitable for outdoor activities like wading or kayaking but less ideal for prolonged swimming.
Swimming in the Hoëgne is generally not recommended due to its cool water temperatures and strong currents, especially after heavy rainfall. The river is characterized by various shallow and deep sections, some with rapids, which can make it difficult for inexperienced swimmers to navigate safely. Additionally, the water quality can vary depending on the location and time of year. Some spots near Theux may provide more tranquil areas where it’s safe to take a dip, but overall, the Hoëgne is better suited for nature lovers who prefer to explore the area on foot or by boat rather than swimming.
