*** 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 Stepenitz is a river in northern Germany, flowing through the state of Brandenburg, and eventually merging with the Elbe River. The water temperature of the Stepenitz varies depending on the season, with colder temperatures in winter, often falling below 5°C (41°F). During the warmer months of summer, the water temperature typically ranges from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), making it more suitable for swimming, especially in calm sections of the river where the water is clearer.
Swimming in the Stepenitz is possible, but like many natural rivers, it depends on the specific stretch of water. In areas with faster currents or more turbulent waters, swimming may not be advisable due to safety concerns. There are also sections of the river that are affected by agricultural runoff or other environmental factors, which can influence the water quality. Some parts of the river may be popular among locals for recreational activities like canoeing and fishing, and while there are no formal designated swimming zones, those familiar with the area may swim in quieter, more accessible sections of the river during summer.
