*** 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 Oude IJssel is a river in the eastern Netherlands, flowing through the province of Gelderland, and is an important tributary of the IJssel River. The river is known for its scenic views and is used for various outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, and walking along its banks. Swimming in the Oude IJssel is possible during the warmer months, typically from May to September, when the water temperature can reach comfortable levels for swimmers, ranging between 18°C and 22°C (64°F to 72°F). However, the water quality can vary depending on factors such as rainfall, agricultural runoff, and industrial waste, so it’s important to check local water quality reports before swimming.
During the cooler months, from October to April, the water temperature of the Oude IJssel drops significantly, often falling below 10°C (50°F), making swimming impractical and unsafe. The river also has varying flow rates, with certain sections featuring faster-moving water, particularly after periods of heavy rain. While the Oude IJssel offers a beautiful natural environment, swimming is generally safer in designated areas or supervised spots to ensure the water is clean and the current is not too strong.
