The Azores, an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, experience a temperate maritime climate that significantly influences the sea temperatures around its islands. Throughout the year, the ocean temperatures remain relatively cool, with average temperatures ranging between 16°C and 22°C (61°F to 72°F). This means that even during the warmest months, the sea remains refreshing but not excessively warm.
