⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Warche is a river that flows through the Ardennes region of Belgium, particularly in the province of Liège. Originating in the high, forested hills of the Ardennes, the water in the Warche remains cool and clear year-round, with typical temperatures ranging from 6°C (43°F) in the winter to around 12°C (54°F) in the summer months. These temperatures make the river quite cold, which can be refreshing for a short swim but not ideal for longer periods of swimming, especially without proper acclimatization. The river's flow is often fast, and the bed is rocky, so swimming can be challenging in most areas.
Despite the cooler temperatures and the challenging currents, there are some spots along the Warche that can offer a brief, refreshing dip, particularly in calmer sections or shallow pools. These opportunities are more common after periods of less rainfall when the river's flow is gentler. However, the Warche is not typically known as a popular swimming destination. Instead, it is more frequented by nature lovers for activities such as hiking, fishing, and kayaking, as the river meanders through a beautiful natural landscape.
