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.

Location & Local Information
Cavaillon, located in the Vaucluse department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, lies along the Durance River, a key tributary of the Rhône River. The Durance River, originating in the French Alps, brings cool mountain water to the region, resulting in a water temperature that can range from 5°C (41°F) in the early spring to about 18-22°C (64-72°F) during the warmer summer months. The river’s temperature is influenced by both snowmelt and seasonal variations, making it ideal for those looking for a refreshing swim, especially in the summer when the surrounding temperatures rise.
While swimming directly in the Durance River is possible in some areas, it is important to note that its water can be fast-moving and can have strong currents, particularly in sections where the river is narrow or in areas with rapids. However, there are calmer sections in the river near Cavaillon that are more suitable for recreational activities like swimming and kayaking. The city itself offers nearby natural swimming pools or lakes, where the water temperature is more stable and often warmer than in the river, providing a safer environment for families and swimmers looking for a relaxing experience. As always, swimmers should be cautious and aware of the river's flow and weather conditions.
