Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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.

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 River Ourcq is a modest, meandering river in northern France, originating in the Aisne department and running through the scenic regions of Île-de-France. Throughout the warmer months, water temperatures in the Ourcq generally range between 18°C and 22°C (64°F to 72°F), though these can fluctuate depending on recent weather. While the Ourcq is popular for outdoor activities such as kayaking and fishing, swimming is limited to designated sections due to both the water quality and the preservation of local habitats. In the countryside stretches, however, the Ourcq’s clear, shallow waters often attract visitors looking to cool off on hot summer days.
In urban areas like Paris, where the Canal de l’Ourcq feeds into the Seine, swimming is more regulated, but there have been increased efforts to improve water quality and create safe swimming zones in recent years. The Canauxrama project, for example, aims to clean and monitor parts of the Ourcq and the canal network to support more recreational use, including swimming.
