Nieuwjaarsduik 2027

In early January the brave start the year in cold water. The best known nieuwjaarsduik is on the beach of Ostend, where thousands of people run into the North Sea, and smaller dives follow in other coastal towns. We add the dates as soon as the organisers confirm them.

Before you dive

Cold water can cause a cold shock. Only go in where there are lifeguards or supervision, do not go alone, walk in slowly and warm up straight afterwards. High waves and wind can change a dive at short notice (the Ostend dive was limited to knee-deep water at the start of 2026): check the organiser's page that morning.
