*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
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
Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, is situated on the delta of the Rhône River, close to where the river flows into the Mediterranean Sea. While the city is more well-known for its proximity to the sea, the Rhône River itself is also a significant waterway that offers recreational opportunities, though swimming is not as common here compared to the coastal areas. The water temperature of the Rhône River varies depending on the time of year. In the summer months, the water temperature can reach around 20°C to 24°C (68°F to 75°F), making it cool but still suitable for short swims or other activities like kayaking or paddleboarding.
The water quality in the Rhône River can fluctuate, with some areas experiencing stronger currents or possible pollution, particularly near industrial zones. Therefore, while swimming is technically possible, it is generally not recommended in the main channels of the river due to the strong flow and variable water conditions. For safer and more enjoyable swimming, locals and visitors tend to prefer the nearby beaches along the Mediterranean, where the water is warmer and more suitable for recreational swimming. In contrast, the calmer waters of the surrounding marshes and inlets may provide more favorable conditions for swimming, especially in the hot summer months.
