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 Loue River in France is a tributary of the Doubs River, flowing through the Jura mountains and into the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. Its water temperature varies throughout the year, generally ranging between 10°C and 20°C. In summer, water temperatures can reach 18°C to 20°C (64°F to 68°F), offering refreshment for swimmers who enjoy cooler, invigorating water. However, during colder months, especially in winter and early spring, the river cools significantly and may only reach around 10°C (50°F). This makes the Loue a seasonal choice for swimmers, with the summer months from June to September providing the most comfortable conditions.
Swimming in the Loue is popular, particularly in calmer areas such as around Ornans, where there are accessible banks and slower currents. This river is not only great for swimming but also highly valued for activities like kayaking, fishing, and hiking along its scenic banks. Due to the varying currents and temperatures, it’s recommended to check local conditions and preferred swimming spots, as sections of the Loue can experience strong flows, especially after rainfall. The Loue’s picturesque, clear waters, surrounded by limestone cliffs and green landscapes, make it a beautiful destination for nature lovers looking to experience the tranquility and coolness of this unique river.
