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
Magaluf, on the southwest coast of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, enjoys a Mediterranean maritime climate that keeps sea temperatures relatively mild through much of the year. Seasonal water temperatures typically range from around 13–15°C in winter (December–February), rise to approximately 15–19°C in spring (March–May), reach their warmest in summer with averages near 22–27°C (June–August), and then cool to about 19–24°C in autumn (September–November). Shallow sandy bays and sheltered coves around the bay warm more quickly than exposed open water, while deeper or offshore spots can feel a few degrees cooler. These patterns mean the sea is at its most inviting from late spring through early autumn, with a clear peak of warmth in July and August.

During the warm months the water is comfortable for long swims, family bathing and a wide range of watersports, while May and September can offer pleasant, less crowded swimming with slightly cooler but still agreeable temperatures.
