*** 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 Schussen River in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is a tributary of Lake Constance and features a varied water temperature depending on the season. In winter, the water temperature typically ranges from 4 to 8°C, while in summer, it can rise to between 18 and 24°C. These fluctuations depend on local weather conditions and tributary inflows, making it a dynamic aquatic environment.
Swimming in the Schussen is generally not recommended due to water quality concerns, stemming from agricultural runoff and urban pollution. Although the river has been part of environmental restoration projects to improve its ecological health, no official swimming areas are designated. While some locals occasionally use calm stretches of the river for recreational activities, it’s important to check water quality conditions and adhere to local regulations to ensure safety.
