Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. 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 Wertach is a river in the Swabian region of Bavaria, Germany, flowing through the city of Augsburg before eventually merging with the Lech River. The water temperature in the Wertach varies throughout the year, with colder temperatures during the winter months and warmer conditions during the summer. In the winter, the water temperature typically drops to around 4-6°C (39-43°F), making it unsuitable for swimming. However, in the warmer months, especially from late spring to early autumn, the water temperature can rise to 16-20°C (61-68°F), which is generally considered suitable for swimming, although some might find it a bit chilly.
Swimming in the Wertach is possible, especially in the calm stretches of the river. While the river does not have the widespread popularity of larger swimming destinations, it offers a quieter, more natural setting for recreational activities. The current in the Wertach is generally moderate, but swimmers should still be cautious, particularly in areas where the water may deepen or where the flow becomes stronger. The river flows through picturesque landscapes, offering opportunities for a refreshing swim during the summer months. As with any river, it's important to be aware of the water quality and weather conditions, especially after heavy rainfall, when the water may rise and become more hazardous.
