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
Palma de Mallorca, on the southwest coast of the island of Mallorca in the Balearic archipelago, benefits from a Mediterranean maritime climate that moderates sea temperatures year-round. The water in the coastal waters around Palma typically ranges from about 14–16 °C in winter to roughly 22–26 °C in the height of summer. Spring brings a gradual warming with sea temperatures commonly between 15–20 °C, while autumn sees a slow cooling from summer highs to values around 20–24 °C. Shallow bays and the sheltered Bay of Palma warm faster than open sea areas, so local conditions can vary by a few degrees depending on depth and exposure.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach holidays in Palma suit a wide variety of preferences, from family-friendly sandy beaches with gentle gradients to smaller coves offering clearer, calmer waters for snorkeling and freediving. The summer months offer the most comfortable bathing conditions, with many people swimming without wetsuits when the sea reaches mid-20s °C, while shoulder seasons can be pleasant for hardy swimmers or those who prefer fewer crowds but may require a short acclimatization to cooler water. Wind patterns can influence surf and chop, so sheltered beaches are preferable for relaxed swimming, while more exposed stretches appeal to windsurfers and kiteboarders. Facilities, lifeguard services and easy access from the city make Palma a convenient base for combining cultural visits with reliable coastal bathing opportunities.
