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.
Water temperature data for this location is gathered from various sources, including buoys and satellite sea and ocean surface maps provided by the NOAA agency. We also incorporate data from local authorities in each specific location worldwide to ensure more accurate temperature readings.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach holidays in San Felipe are popular particularly from late spring through early autumn when water in the mid to high twenties ºC makes long swims comfortable without thermal protection. Many beaches around the town have gently shelving sandbars and calm bays suited to family swimming, while rocky stretches and nearby reefs offer snorkeling opportunities when visibility is good. Northern winds can produce choppy surf at times and cooler winter water often leads visitors to wear wetsuits for extended sessions, so plan activities around seasonal conditions and forecasts. Accommodations, waterfront restaurants and boat excursions make it easy to combine beach relaxation with short swims, casual snorkeling and gentle water recreation throughout much of the year.
