Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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.

*** 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 River Don in western France is a gentle tributary that flows through regions such as Loire-Atlantique and Ille-et-Vilaine. Known for its mild currents, this river provides a serene environment, especially during the warmer months. In summer, the water temperature of the Don generally ranges from 17°C to 21°C (63°F to 70°F), making it a comfortable setting for outdoor activities like kayaking and leisurely paddling. Though not officially designated for swimming, there are shallow, calm spots along the riverbanks where locals sometimes cool off, especially in rural areas where the water is clear and accessible.
The Don River, surrounded by lush countryside, is primarily a destination for anglers and nature enthusiasts rather than swimmers. The banks are rich with biodiversity, creating an appealing setting for a day by the water without heavy currents or deep sections that are found in larger rivers. For those interested in swimming, it is recommended to check with local tourism offices for guidance, as some sections may not be maintained for public swimming, and water quality can vary.
