*** 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 Orbe River is a picturesque waterway flowing through both Switzerland and France. It originates in the Swiss Jura mountains and passes through the town of Vallorbe before flowing into Lake Neuchâtel. Its waters are primarily sourced from mountain streams, which means the river is generally cool throughout the year. The water temperature of the Orbe varies seasonally, ranging between 6°C and 18°C (43°F to 64°F). In summer, it is a popular spot for nature lovers, but swimming is rare due to the cold waters and strong currents, making it better suited for hiking and observing wildlife along its banks.
