*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
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.

The Blavet River in Brittany, France, stretches over 150 kilometers, flowing from central Brittany to the Atlantic near Lorient. This river enjoys a moderate climate, and its water temperature varies seasonally. During summer months, the Blavet’s water temperature can range between 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), making it comfortable for outdoor water activities, including swimming. However, the river is widely known as a destination for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing due to its smooth flow and scenic views, especially along the canalized sections where it becomes more navigable and gentle.
Swimming is possible in several calm spots along the Blavet, particularly in areas closer to Pontivy and Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux, where the water flow is gentle and the surroundings are scenic. Though the river is generally safe, swimmers are advised to stick to designated areas or popular swimming spots where conditions are monitored, as sections with currents may be less suitable. Locals and tourists alike enjoy the serene spots along the river, where the banks provide natural areas for relaxing and enjoying Brittany’s mild summer weather.
