Your call here is 9 days away — beyond this forecast's reach
What to check on the official page: BfG does not forecast Maxau. Its daily fourteen-day product covers seven Rhine gauges further downstream, and Maxau is not one of them. The service that does forecast this gauge is Baden-Württemberg's own flood forecast centre, and ELWIS sends you there too.
On that page choose the Vorhersage tab. A solid line runs about two days ahead in centimetres. After that the chart switches to a wider trend estimate with a shaded band around it and a no-rain scenario, reaching roughly a fortnight.
Nothing on that page reaches 14 October yet. The forecast line stops about two days out, and the trend estimate past it is a range, not a date. Come back nearer the day.
Whichever line you read, it is the authority's, not ours. Waterlogged reports measured levels and the record behind them, and publishes no forward level of its own.

- Far below the lineThe measured level is under half of Waterlogged's reference line for this ship.
- Below the lineThe measured level is below Waterlogged's reference line for this ship.
- Above the lineThe measured level is at or above Waterlogged's reference line for this ship.
- Lock-controlledLocks hold this water at a working level, so low water is far less likely to affect this stretch. Other things still can.
- No line publishedThis is a real reading. There is nothing published to measure it against.
- No reading yetWe watch a gauge on this stretch. No current reading is on file for it.
- No gauge on this stretchWe watch no gauge on this stretch of river. There is no reading for this day and no line to measure one against.
- In portThe ship is in port on this day. Our record holds no river transit for it, so there is no stretch of river to read.
- Not sailingThe ship does not sail on this day. Your itinerary spends it on land, so no river level applies to it.
The small white boards mark A riverside station that measures the water level in centimetres against a fixed zero point. stations — the places where a reading is physically taken. Each is drawn at its own town's coordinate, which can sit close to the port it serves. Each stretch is coloured by the worst port on it. A gauge level is not the depth of the The navigable channel where ships are meant to pass., not the room under your ship's keel, and not your ship's How deep a ship sits in the water. That depth sets how much water it needs underneath..
