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 Ybbs River, located in Lower Austria, is a tributary of the Danube River, flowing through a mix of hilly landscapes and agricultural areas. The water temperature of the Ybbs varies throughout the year, with summer temperatures typically ranging from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which makes it more comfortable for swimming during the warmer months. In the upper parts of the river, where the flow is faster and the water is sourced from mountainous areas, the temperature is generally cooler, around 12°C to 15°C (54°F to 59°F), which might not be ideal for extended swimming but can provide a refreshing dip.
Swimming in the Ybbs is possible, particularly in the calmer and shallow sections where the water is clearer and the current is slower. These areas are often preferred by locals and visitors seeking a place to cool off during the summer. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, canoeing, and hiking along its banks. However, caution should be exercised when swimming in parts of the river with stronger currents or deeper pools, as these can pose risks. For a more controlled swimming experience, nearby lakes and public swimming pools offer warmer alternatives.
