Water Temperature in Catalonia: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name of the region: Catalunya

Catalonia, located in northeastern Spain along the Mediterranean Sea, experiences seasonal variations in sea temperatures, making it a dynamic coastal destination. During winter, from December to February, the water temperature ranges between 13°C and 15°C (55°F to 59°F), which can feel quite chilly for swimming but remains suitable for activities like surfing or sailing.

As spring progresses, sea temperatures gradually rise, reaching around 16°C to 19°C (61°F to 66°F) by May. The Mediterranean warms up significantly in summer, with temperatures peaking between 22°C and 26°C (72°F to 79°F) from July to September. This period offers the most pleasant conditions for swimming and water sports, attracting both locals and tourists to the beaches of Costa Brava and Costa Daurada.

In autumn, the water stays warm through October, with temperatures between 20°C and 23°C (68°F to 73°F), gradually cooling in November. The Mediterranean’s thermal inertia helps extend the beach season into early autumn, making Catalonia a great coastal getaway well beyond the peak summer months.
