*** 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 Madon River, located in northeastern France, flows through the Vosges and Meurthe-et-Moselle regions. The river’s water temperature varies with the seasons, generally staying between 10-15°C (50-59°F) in spring and autumn, while summer temperatures can reach up to 18-20°C (64-68°F) on warmer days. Due to its relatively small size and natural surroundings, the Madon provides a quiet, scenic environment ideal for those who enjoy tranquil nature spots. The cooler temperatures of the Madon may be refreshing during hot summer days, though they might be brisk for extended swims.
Swimming in the Madon is possible in certain calmer sections, particularly around its banks where the flow is less pronounced. However, this river is not extensively developed for recreational swimming, so swimmers should approach with caution, taking note of the depth and water flow, as well as the occasional rocky areas. Those exploring the region often combine their swimming visit with hiking along the riverbanks or enjoying other outdoor activities, as the area around the Madon offers a rich landscape to discover.
