Annual Water Temperature Trend

Port El Kantaoui is a purpose-built marina and resort on Tunisia’s eastern coast near Sousse, known for its palm-lined promenades, sandy beaches and sheltered harbor. The water temperature in the adjacent Mediterranean varies through the year: in winter it typically sits around 15–17 °C, spring brings a gradual rise to about 17–22 °C, summer months are warmest with sea temperatures commonly between 23–28 °C, and autumn sees a gentle cooling to roughly 20–24 °C. These seasonal figures can fluctuate slightly from year to year, but they give a reliable sense of when the sea feels cool, comfortable or pleasantly warm. The relative shallowness and protection offered by the bay around the marina also moderates currents and keeps the water clearer and calmer than on more exposed coasts.
