*** 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.

Location & Local Information
The Spaarne River flows through the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands, making it an important waterway in the region. While the river offers a scenic setting, it is not a well-known location for swimming due to the fluctuating water quality and the presence of boat traffic. The water temperature in the Spaarne River can vary significantly depending on the time of year. In the colder months, from October to March, the water temperature is usually quite low, typically ranging between 4°C and 8°C (39°F to 46°F). This makes swimming not advisable, as the water is too cold for comfort and safety.
During the warmer months, especially from June to September, the water temperature in the Spaarne can rise to between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). These temperatures are more suitable for swimming, but due to the high traffic of boats, barges, and other watercraft, swimming directly in the river is not recommended in most areas. Additionally, the water quality can vary depending on local pollution levels and water management, so it’s important to check for designated swimming areas or local advisories before entering the water.
