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 Schie River is a relatively short but significant river in the western Netherlands, flowing through the city of Delft and connecting to the Nieuwe Maas. It is primarily a lowland river, and its water temperature fluctuates with the seasons. In the summer, the Schie River typically reaches temperatures of around 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), offering a cool and refreshing environment, especially during warm weather. In the winter months, the temperature can drop to around 4°C to 8°C (39°F to 46°F), with the coldest being between December and February.
Swimming in the Schie River is generally not recommended, as it is heavily used for industrial and recreational purposes, including boat traffic and water management. The river can experience variable water quality due to urban runoff and industrial discharge, especially in the more developed areas. Strong currents and proximity to the busy harbor areas in Rotterdam make swimming hazardous. For recreational swimming, it is better to consider designated areas such as lakes or specialized swimming spots that are regularly monitored for water quality and safety.
