Water Temperature in Saint-Malo: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Saint-Malo, a historic port city in Brittany, is located at the mouth of the Rance River, where it meets the English Channel. The water temperature in the Rance River varies seasonally, with colder temperatures ranging from 8–12°C (46–54°F) during the winter months and warmer temperatures between 14–20°C (57–68°F) in the summer. Due to its proximity to the English Channel, the Rance experiences tidal influences, which can impact water conditions and temperature.

Swimming in the Rance River itself is not common, as the water is often subject to strong currents and fluctuating tides. However, Saint-Malo is renowned for its nearby beaches along the Channel, such as Plage du Sillon, where the water temperature is generally warmer and swimming is more popular. The beaches offer opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports, and the area is equipped with lifeguards during the summer months to ensure safety for swimmers.
