*** 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 Garonne River, one of the major rivers in southwestern France, flows through a diverse landscape, connecting the Pyrenees to the Atlantic Ocean. Known for its historical significance and scenic beauty, the river is also a popular destination for various recreational activities, including swimming. Water temperatures in the Garonne can vary significantly throughout the year, typically ranging from about 10°C (50°F) in the winter months to a warm 20°C to 24°C (68°F to 75°F) during the summer, particularly in July and August. These summer temperatures make the river an attractive option for those seeking a refreshing swim.
Swimming in the Garonne is generally safe, especially in designated swimming areas where water quality is monitored, and conditions are suitable for recreation. Many local municipalities provide well-maintained spots along the river for swimming, often accompanied by facilities for picnicking and relaxation. However, swimmers should be cautious of currents, particularly in sections of the river with a strong flow or after heavy rainfall, when the water level can rise dramatically. By adhering to local safety guidelines and being mindful of the river's conditions, swimmers can enjoy a safe and pleasant experience in this beautiful setting.
