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 Nete is a river in the Flanders region of Belgium, flowing through the provinces of Antwerp and Limburg. It is a relatively small river that originates in the Kempen region and flows into the Scheldt River. The water temperature in the Nete varies significantly throughout the year. During the summer months, the temperature can range between 18-22°C (64-72°F), which makes it suitable for swimming. However, the water is usually cooler compared to other rivers, particularly due to its lower flow rate and the presence of various natural and urban factors that affect the water quality.
Swimming in the Nete is possible in several sections, especially in the calmer, more remote areas where the water is cleaner and less affected by nearby industries or towns. The river is not typically known as a swimming hotspot, as its water quality can vary, and the currents can be unpredictable. The presence of occasional pollution from nearby urban areas and agricultural runoff can also pose risks to swimmers. Nonetheless, in the more pristine parts of the river, swimming can be an enjoyable activity, particularly on hot summer days when the temperature is at its peak. Always ensure to check the water quality and local regulations before swimming in the Nete.
