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
Manosque, located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, lies along the Durance River, a major watercourse in southeastern France. The Durance River provides various recreational opportunities, including swimming, though water temperature and safety conditions vary throughout the year. During the summer months, the water temperature in the Durance can range from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), making it a comfortable and refreshing location for swimming, especially during the hot Provençal summers. The river’s clear waters and scenic surroundings also attract visitors who enjoy outdoor activities like canoeing and kayaking.
However, while swimming in the Durance River can be enjoyable, it’s essential to note that the water quality can fluctuate depending on the local environmental and industrial factors. The river flows through a region with significant agricultural and industrial activity, so there may be periods when the water quality isn’t optimal. It’s advisable to check local recommendations and water quality reports, especially after heavy rainfall or during certain times of the year when water levels may rise. Some designated areas along the river are safer and more suitable for swimming, ensuring that visitors can enjoy the cool waters with peace of mind.
