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.

Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Velilla-Taramay, on the Costa Tropical of Andalusia near Almuñécar, enjoys a mild maritime climate that keeps sea temperatures relatively warm for much of the year. The water generally ranges from about 16 °C in the coldest months to roughly 26 °C at the height of summer. Seasonal averages typically see winter values around 15–17 °C, spring gradually warming to about 17–20 °C, summer reaching a comfortable 22–26 °C, and autumn cooling back to roughly 20–23 °C. Local winds and the shelter provided by small headlands can produce calmer, slightly warmer pockets, while exposed stretches may feel a little cooler. These modest seasonal shifts make the bay more inviting than many northern Mediterranean coasts outside the summer months.
