Water Temperature in Dieppe: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Dieppe, located on the Normandy coast, is well-known for its picturesque seafront and rich maritime history. The city lies along the Arques River, which flows into the English Channel. While Dieppe's riverfront provides a charming setting, the Arques River itself is not typically a destination for swimming. The water in the river remains relatively cold throughout the year, with temperatures averaging around 5-7°C (41-45°F) in winter and rising to about 12-15°C (54-59°F) during the summer months. These cooler temperatures, combined with its relatively shallow waters, make swimming in the Arques River not ideal, and it is generally more suitable for other activities like boating, fishing, and scenic walks along the riverbank.

However, Dieppe is much better known for its opportunities for swimming in the English Channel. The sea temperature here is generally colder than in the Mediterranean, but during the summer months, the water temperature in the Channel typically reaches 17-20°C (63-68°F), making it more comfortable for swimming. Dieppe's pebble beach attracts both locals and tourists, with lifeguards ensuring safety during the summer swimming season. The town's maritime charm and its beach are the primary spots for swimming, rather than the Arques River itself.
