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
El Port de la Selva, a coastal village on Catalonia’s Costa Brava, sits where the Mediterranean’s clear waters meet a rocky, indented shoreline. Seasonal sea temperatures reflect the temperate Mediterranean climate: in winter (December–February) the water typically ranges from about 12 to 14 °C, spring (March–May) sees a gradual rise to roughly 13 to 18 °C, summer (June–August) brings the warmest conditions with averages near 20 to 25 °C, and autumn (September–November) cools down again to approximately 17 to 22 °C. Local microclimates and occasional winds such as the Tramuntana can shift surface temperatures slightly, and shallow coves warm faster than deeper offshore areas.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach holidays here are best planned for the warmer months, when the sea is comfortably inviting for long swims and water activities. The village offers a mix of small sandy and pebbly beaches plus sheltered coves where waters are often calm in summer, suitable for families, snorkeling and casual paddling. In cooler months many visitors still enjoy short swims or wetsuit-based water sports, but water at 12–14 °C is brisk and better suited to brief dips or active pursuits rather than lounging. Facilities are modest compared with larger resorts, so visitors should check local services and seasonal lifeguard coverage; calm summer conditions make El Port de la Selva a pleasant choice for those seeking clearer water and a quieter beach experience.
