*** 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 Warnow River flows through northeastern Germany, including the city of Rostock, and empties into the Baltic Sea. The river's water temperature varies significantly depending on the season. In summer, the temperature can reach around 18–22°C (64–72°F), providing comfortable conditions for water-based activities. During the colder months, especially in winter, temperatures drop significantly, often nearing freezing, making swimming impractical.
Swimming in the Warnow is possible, particularly in its calmer and cleaner stretches. Many local residents and visitors enjoy refreshing dips during the warmer months, especially in areas like the Rostock city harbor or smaller beaches along the river. However, as with any natural water body, swimmers should be cautious of currents and boat traffic. Water quality is generally good, but it’s advisable to check local reports to ensure safe swimming conditions.
