*** 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 Lenne River is a tributary of the Ruhr River, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and spans a length of about 128 kilometers. Originating in the Sauerland region, the river flows through picturesque landscapes and towns such as Altena and Iserlohn before joining the Ruhr. The Lenne's water temperature typically ranges from 4-10°C (39-50°F) during winter months and rises to 15-20°C (59-68°F) in summer, depending on weather conditions and seasonal variations.
Swimming in the Lenne is generally not widely practiced due to safety concerns such as variable currents, uneven depths, and water quality issues. While parts of the river may appear inviting, the presence of infrastructure and occasional pollution from nearby urban areas make it less suitable for recreational swimming. However, the Lenne's scenic surroundings are a popular destination for outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and cycling. Nearby lakes and swimming pools offer safer alternatives for those looking to enjoy water activities.
