*** 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 Moselle River, originating in the Vosges mountains in France and flowing through Germany and Luxembourg, has a varied water temperature profile influenced by seasonal changes and geographical location. In summer, average temperatures can reach 20-22°C (68-72°F) in warmer stretches, particularly in the lower sections as the river winds through German wine regions. This makes the river suitable for recreational activities, although local temperatures fluctuate with weather conditions. By contrast, in winter, temperatures drop significantly, often ranging from 4 to 8°C (39-46°F), limiting swimming and other activities.
