Water Temperature in Tarbes: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Tarbes, located in the Occitanie region of southwestern France, lies along the Adour River, a major waterway that flows through the city. The river is an important feature of the area, providing both scenic views and recreational opportunities. However, when it comes to swimming, the river’s water temperature can fluctuate throughout the year. During the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, the water temperature of the Adour River typically ranges from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), making it comfortable for outdoor activities like swimming. Some local residents enjoy taking a dip in calmer areas of the river, although it is important to remain cautious of the current, especially after heavy rainfall, which can make the flow stronger.

In the cooler months, the water temperature in the Adour River drops significantly, often falling below 10°C (50°F) in winter, making it unsuitable for swimming. As with many rivers in mountainous regions, the water can become quite cold, especially in the spring when snowmelt from the Pyrenees enters the river. There are no specific designated swimming zones in Tarbes for the Adour River, so visitors seeking swimming opportunities typically prefer to visit nearby lakes, swimming pools, or the Mediterranean coast, which is about a few hours’ drive from Tarbes.
