*** 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 Trave River, located in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, flows from the town of Ostholstein and ends in Lübeck Bay, where it meets the Baltic Sea. The river's water temperature varies significantly throughout the year, ranging from around 4°C to 8°C (39°F to 46°F) in winter and climbing to 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F) in summer. These moderate summer temperatures make certain areas of the river suitable for recreational activities.
Swimming in the Trave is possible, but it is typically enjoyed in designated areas where the water is calm and monitored for safety. Popular swimming spots are often closer to Lübeck or near Bad Segeberg. However, swimmers should exercise caution due to boat traffic, particularly near the river's estuary. The Trave is also a hub for kayaking and paddleboarding, offering picturesque views of the surrounding nature.
