*** 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 Léez River, located in southwestern France, primarily flows through the departments of Hautes-Pyrénées and Pyrénées-Atlantiques. As a tributary of the Adour, it experiences seasonal temperature changes, with water temperatures typically ranging from around 8-12°C (46-54°F) in winter to 16-21°C (61-70°F) during the summer. These warmer summer temperatures can make the Léez appealing for quick dips and wading, especially in shallow stretches.
Swimming in the Léez, however, is generally limited to brief and refreshing dips rather than prolonged swims. Many sections of the river are shallow, and the flow rate can vary significantly, especially after rainfall. While it is possible to find deeper spots suitable for a short swim, the river is mostly enjoyed for its peaceful ambiance, scenic natural setting, and ideal wading areas. Visitors seeking a more substantial swimming experience may prefer nearby lakes or wider rivers, but for those wanting a quick cool-off in nature, the Léez provides a charming and accessible option.
