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
Lisieux, located in the Normandy region of France, lies along the picturesque Touques River. The Touques is a relatively calm river, flowing through lush countryside before reaching the sea near Deauville. The river is primarily used for recreational activities such as fishing and canoeing, but it is not particularly known for swimming. The water temperature in the Touques River varies throughout the year. In winter, the river’s temperature can drop to around 5°C (41°F), making swimming uncomfortable and unsafe. During the warmer months, particularly from late spring to early autumn, the water temperature may rise to around 15-18°C (59-64°F), which, while somewhat more comfortable, is still considered quite cool for swimming by many.
Although the Touques River itself is not ideal for swimming, Lisieux’s proximity to the Normandy coast offers better options for those looking to swim. The beaches of Deauville, Trouville, and other nearby coastal towns provide warmer water for swimming, with sea temperatures typically ranging from 18-20°C (64-68°F) in the summer. However, the river’s clear water and scenic environment make it an excellent spot for other outdoor activities like hiking, birdwatching, and fishing, offering a tranquil and natural escape for residents and visitors alike.
