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

Santa Pola, on Spain’s Costa Blanca in the Valencian Community, has a typically Mediterranean sea climate with mild winters and warm summers. Water temperatures follow a clear seasonal pattern: in winter (December–February) the sea usually sits around 14–16 °C, rising through spring to roughly 16–20 °C by April and May. Summer brings the warmest conditions, with July and August commonly reaching 22–26 °C, and early autumn often remaining pleasant at 20–22 °C in September and October. By late autumn the surface cools again toward the winter range. Local microclimates and shallow bays can make nearshore water a degree or two warmer than open sea, while nights and windy conditions can lower perceived temperature.
