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 Douze River is a small river in southwestern France, flowing through the Landes department before joining the Midou to form the Midouze in Mont-de-Marsan. Due to its relatively modest size and flow, the Douze has mild seasonal variations in water temperature. In the winter, temperatures range from 8-12°C (46-54°F), and in summer, they can rise to around 18-22°C (64-72°F). During the warmer months, the water can be inviting, especially in shallow sections where it warms up quickly under the sun.
Swimming in the Douze is possible, particularly in calmer, accessible spots near small towns and rural areas along its course. However, because of its limited depth and fluctuating water levels, the Douze is more suitable for brief dips or wading rather than extended swimming sessions. The river flows through forested and agricultural landscapes, offering a peaceful setting, but swimmers should check local conditions as rainfall can affect water clarity and flow. For those seeking a quiet spot to cool off in nature, the Douze provides an authentic, rural French experience.
