Annual Water Temperature Trend

Cadaqués, on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, is set beside the protected waters of the Cap de Creus peninsula, known for clear, cool Mediterranean seas. Water temperatures follow a distinct seasonal cycle: in winter the sea typically sits around 12–14 °C, spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 14–19 °C, summer months warm further to about 22–25 °C at their peak, and autumn temperatures generally fall back to 17–21 °C. These averages can vary with short-term weather patterns and the local wind known as the tramuntana, which can quickly change surface conditions and perceived temperature. The clarity of the water is often good, especially in the rocky coves and headlands, although shallow sandy spots warm slightly faster on sunny days.
