Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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 Löcknitz River, located in northeastern Germany, flows through the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and is a tributary of the Oder River. The water temperature of the Löcknitz varies throughout the year, with temperatures typically ranging between 5°C (41°F) in winter and up to 20-22°C (68-72°F) during the summer months, making it more suitable for swimming during the warmer seasons. As with most small rivers, its water temperature and clarity can fluctuate depending on rainfall, the river's flow rate, and local environmental factors. During summer, the river's calmer stretches provide opportunities for locals and visitors to enjoy swimming or other recreational activities, particularly in areas where the water depth is shallow and relatively safe.
Despite its suitability for swimming in warmer months, the Löcknitz is not a heavily developed or widely recognized recreational area, and it does not have designated swimming zones. The water quality can be influenced by agricultural runoff, especially in the rural areas it passes through, which may affect its clarity and cleanliness. Nonetheless, people familiar with the river's conditions may still enjoy a swim, especially in remote or less polluted sections. However, swimming enthusiasts should always check the water's clarity and flow conditions before entering the river, as high water levels or strong currents can pose a risk.
