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
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.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach holidays in Cadaqués are shaped by the mix of small sandy bays and rocky inlets that offer varied experiences for visitors. The main town beach provides easy access for families, while numerous nearby coves are popular for snorkeling and more secluded swims when conditions are calm. The best time for comfortable bathing is late June through early September when sea temperatures are in the low to mid 20s °C, but keen swimmers also enjoy shoulder seasons with fewer crowds. Visitors should be mindful of changing winds, submerged rocks, and limited lifeguard coverage in some coves, and choose sheltered spots on breezy days. Overall, Cadaqués suits both relaxed beachgoers and those seeking clearer water for snorkeling and short coastal swims.
