Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Orne River, located in Normandy, France, is a scenic waterway known for its calm flow and lush surroundings. Its water temperature varies with the seasons, generally reaching around 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F) during the warmer months. In the winter, the temperature tends to drop, often falling below 10°C (50°F), making it less ideal for swimming in colder seasons. The river flows through picturesque areas, including rugged landscapes, cliffs, and valleys, which are popular for recreational activities.
Although the Orne River is not widely known for swimming, there are some areas where swimming is possible, especially in shallow sections with clear water during the summer months. The river is more popular for other activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, and fishing, especially in the scenic “Suisse Normande” area, where the river is surrounded by beautiful hills and cliffs.
