*** 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 Wörnitz is a river in southern Germany, flowing through the regions of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg before joining the Danube. The water temperature of the Wörnitz varies throughout the year, with colder temperatures in the winter months and warmer temperatures during the summer. In winter, the water temperature typically ranges from 3 to 5°C (37-41°F), making swimming impractical and potentially dangerous. During the summer months, however, the water temperature can rise to around 15-20°C (59-68°F), providing more favorable conditions for swimming.
Swimming in the Wörnitz is possible in certain areas, particularly where the river is calmer and the water is shallow. These areas are typically found in the more tranquil stretches of the river. The Wörnitz offers a serene environment for those looking to swim in nature, although it is not as heavily used for swimming compared to larger rivers. The water quality is generally good, but as with any river, it is important to assess the conditions, especially after heavy rains, when the flow may increase, and the water may become turbid or fast-moving. As always, caution should be exercised when swimming in rivers, particularly in deeper or faster-flowing sections.
