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 Magra, running from the Apennines to the Ligurian/Tyrrhenian coast, shows typical river temperature patterns for northern Italy. Upstream and in shaded canyon stretches the water is cold: winter temperatures commonly sit around 6–10 °C (43–50 °F). In spring the river warms to roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) as flows moderate and air temperatures rise. Peak summer temperatures in wider, slower reaches can reach about 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), while autumn sees a decline to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Temperatures vary with depth, current speed and proximity to the sea; the lower estuary warms more in summer and cools less in winter due to tidal influence.
Swimming in the Magra is possible and people commonly bathe in calmer pools and broader bends during warm months, but permissibility and safety depend on location. Some stretches are subject to local ordinances, private property limits or conservation protections, and occasional water‑quality advisories from agricultural or industrial runoff have occurred. Strong currents, submerged rocks and sudden flow changes after rain create hazards, and colder temperatures outside summer increase risk of cold shock. Anyone planning to swim should check municipal guidance or local monitoring, choose sheltered, tested areas and take standard river‑safety precautions.
