*** 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 Murg River, flowing through the Baden-Württemberg region in southwestern Germany, is known for its picturesque surroundings and recreational potential, especially during the warmer months. The river's water temperature can vary depending on the season. During the winter, the water is quite cold, often hovering around 5°C or lower, but in summer, it can rise to temperatures of 18°C to 22°C. This makes it comfortable for swimming, particularly in July and August when temperatures are at their peak. During these months, the Murg becomes a popular spot for both locals and visitors looking to cool off. However, the water temperature can fluctuate based on rainfall and upstream conditions, which can affect swimming comfort.
Swimming in the Murg is possible in various areas, particularly in the calmer stretches of the river that run through towns like Gernsbach and Baden-Baden. The river is relatively shallow in many sections, which is conducive to safe swimming. Local communities often create designated swimming zones to ensure safety and maintain water quality. Although the Murg is generally clean, swimmers should be aware of the river's fluctuating conditions and check water quality reports before entering the water. In addition to swimming, the river is also popular for other water sports, such as kayaking and rafting, particularly in the sections with faster currents.
