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 Trend
Menorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, enjoys a Mediterranean climate that keeps its surrounding waters relatively mild year-round. Seasonal water temperatures typically range from about 13–15 °C in winter (December–February) to roughly 15–19 °C in spring (March–May). The sea warms steadily into summer, averaging around 20–26 °C from June through August, with the warmest readings usually in July and August.

Swimming Conditions
These conditions make Menorca well suited for a beach and swimming holiday from late spring into early autumn. Many coves and sandy beaches offer sheltered, clear water that is pleasant for paddling, swimming, and snorkeling, while Posidonia seagrass meadows and rocky outcrops support good underwater visibility and marine life for snorkelers and divers. Families often prefer the shallower, protected beaches where water reaches comfortable temperatures sooner in the season, whereas open or northerly-facing shores can see more swell and lower temperatures. Popular beaches are generally serviced with seasonal lifeguards and facilities, and boats or local excursions can provide access to quieter calas for swimming when wind or crowds affect the main beaches.
