Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 60°F (15°C) to 65°F (18°C). The water is comfortable for most people, making it an ideal range for water sports enthusiasts. The temperature does not cause significant discomfort, and swimming will be pleasant for the majority. However, it's important to remember that prolonged exposure to the water can still lead to cooling, so it's essential to monitor the time spent in the water, especially for children or elderly people. 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 Saane River, known as La Sarine in French, flows through the western part of Switzerland, originating in the Swiss Alps. It passes through several Swiss towns, including Gstaad, Fribourg, and Bulle, before joining the Aare River. The river is fed by alpine waters, resulting in cooler temperatures throughout the year. The water temperature of the Saane ranges from around 5°C to 18°C (41°F to 64°F), with summer temperatures reaching the higher end of the spectrum. The river is known for its scenic landscapes and is popular for activities such as kayaking and hiking, though swimming is less common due to the colder water and strong currents.
