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 Midouze River, located in the Landes department of southwestern France, flows through the picturesque landscapes of the Gascony region. The river is formed by the confluence of the Midou and Douze rivers in Mont-de-Marsan, and it eventually joins the Adour River. Water temperatures in the Midouze tend to vary seasonally, generally ranging from around 8-12°C (46-54°F) in the winter months to approximately 20-24°C (68-75°F) in the warmer summer period. The best time for water activities, such as swimming, is typically from late spring to early autumn, when the temperatures are more comfortable.
Swimming in the Midouze is possible, especially in calmer sections near Mont-de-Marsan and certain areas downstream where the current slows. These spots offer refreshing swimming opportunities surrounded by a lush natural setting. However, since the Midouze can experience fluctuations in water level and clarity after heavy rains, it’s wise to check local conditions before swimming. While not a major destination for swimming, the Midouze offers a tranquil and natural environment for those looking to enjoy a peaceful dip in rural France.
