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 Verdon River, often referred to as the Verdon Gorge, is a stunning river located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France. It is renowned for its breathtaking turquoise waters and dramatic gorges. Water temperatures in the Verdon River can vary significantly throughout the year, typically ranging from about 10°C (50°F) in the winter to around 22°C (72°F) during the peak summer months. This makes the summer months particularly inviting for swimming, with comfortable temperatures for most swimmers.
Swimming in the Verdon River is a popular activity, especially in designated areas where the water is calm and clear. There are several spots along the river, particularly near the gorge, where visitors can enjoy swimming, kayaking, and even cliff diving. However, caution is advised as the river can have strong currents in certain sections and the temperature can be quite cool, especially in the spring and early summer. It’s important to choose swimming locations wisely, ensuring they are safe and suitable for recreational activities.
