Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. 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 Ellé River, located in Brittany, France, is known for its clear, cool waters that flow through the Morbihan and Finistère departments. The water temperature in the Ellé is typically cooler than coastal or southern rivers, averaging between 12°C and 18°C (54°F to 64°F) in the warmer months. This cooler temperature is often due to the river’s rapid currents and shaded surroundings, as it flows through forested areas and gorges, especially near Le Faouët. The river is popular for various water activities, such as kayaking and fishing, thanks to its relatively pristine and natural environment.
Swimming in the Ellé is possible in certain sections, particularly near the natural pools and calm areas formed by the river's bends and curves. The stretch near Le Faouët and Pont-Aven is known for offering peaceful, scenic spots suitable for wading and swimming in the summer, although swimmers should be prepared for colder water. Additionally, the river’s currents can vary in strength, so it’s recommended to check local conditions and select areas where the flow is gentle.
