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.
Annual Water Temperature Overview by Month
Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Barlovento, a coastal municipality on the northeastern shore of La Palma in the Canary Islands, is characterized by a volcanic, rugged coastline where black sand, pebble coves and carved lava platforms meet the Atlantic. Sea temperatures here follow the mild Canary climate: winter months (December–February) typically range around 18–20°C, spring (March–May) about 18–21°C, summer (June–August) warms to roughly 21–24°C, and autumn (September–November) usually sits near 20–22°C. Local microclimates and occasional upwelling can make the water a little cooler than on southern shores of the island, but overall the sea remains temperate year-round, offering a different experience from Mediterranean beaches.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming in Barlovento is often about choosing the right spot rather than long sandy beaches. The area is well known for natural saltwater pools and sheltered lava pools such as Charco Azul, which provide calm, protected places to bathe even when the open ocean is choppy. Small bays and pocket beaches allow seasonal swimming, especially in the warmer months when water temperatures peak and swells are smaller. For a beach holiday, visitors looking for tranquility, coastal walks and cliffside viewpoints will find Barlovento appealing, while those seeking extended sandy shorelines or consistently warm, calm waters may prefer to combine a stay here with visits to other parts of La Palma. Local conditions can change, so checking tide and surf information helps make the most of swimming opportunities.
