*** 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.

Location & Local Information
The Mark, also known as the Dintel, is a river that flows from Belgium into the Netherlands, passing through scenic rural areas and towns. The river originates near Merksplas in Belgium and flows into the Dintel and later the Volkerak in the Netherlands. Water temperatures in the Mark during the summer months generally range from 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), making it fairly refreshing for swimming, though the river isn’t primarily known as a swimming spot. Swimmers often prefer natural spots that offer good access and safety, but the current and water quality can vary, so it’s best to be cautious.
While there are no formal swimming areas on the Mark, some local spots may be suitable for a quick dip, especially on hot summer days. However, it's recommended to check the local regulations and water quality before swimming, as the river flows through agricultural areas that may impact water purity. Kayaking and canoeing are popular activities on the river, offering an enjoyable way to experience the calm and natural environment of the Mark without the risks associated with swimming.
