Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating.

It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

Annual Water Temperature Trend

The Garraf coast, located southwest of Barcelona in Catalonia, combines small sandy beaches and rocky coves backed by scrub-covered hills, offering a compact but varied maritime landscape. Sea temperatures follow the typical western Mediterranean pattern: in winter the water averages around 13–15°C, in spring it warms to roughly 15–20°C, by summer it reaches its peak at about 22–26°C, and in autumn it gradually cools to near 17–22°C. These seasonal ranges are influenced by local winds and occasional upwelling, so short-term variations are common. Water clarity tends to be good in sheltered coves and after calm periods, while storms and wind can bring cooler surface water and some turbidity.
