*** 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 Krems River, located in Lower Austria, is a tributary of the Danube River, flowing through the picturesque Wachau Valley. The water temperature of the Krems River is generally moderate, with summer temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which makes it a comfortable option for swimming in warmer months. However, the water can be cooler in the upper reaches, particularly near the source, where temperatures may be around 12°C to 15°C (54°F to 59°F). These cooler waters are less suitable for prolonged swimming but can provide a refreshing dip on a hot day.
Swimming in the Krems is possible, especially in its calmer sections, where the water flow is slower, making it safer for swimmers. The river is popular for recreational activities such as kayaking, fishing, and hiking along its scenic banks. Some areas near the towns of Krems and the surrounding vineyards are more accessible for swimming. However, swimmers should exercise caution near areas with faster currents or deeper pools. For a more controlled swimming experience, nearby lakes or public swimming pools offer warmer and safer alternatives.
