What is known about the Argentinean Sea?
Balneario, Argentina © Paulo GomezThe Argentine Sea, located along the southeastern coast of Argentina, experiences significant variations in water temperature depending on the latitude. In the northern regions, near Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, summer sea temperatures (December to March) typically range from 64–72°F (18–22°C), making swimming possible, especially in more sheltered beaches. However, as you move further south toward Patagonia, the waters become much colder, even in summer, with temperatures ranging from 50–60°F (10–16°C). While the northern beaches are popular for swimming and surfing, the cooler waters of the south are better suited for wildlife exploration, such as whale watching and diving.
In winter (June to September), the Argentine Sea becomes much colder, with temperatures dropping to 48–57°F (9–14°C) in the north and even lower, around 41–50°F (5–10°C), in the south. These conditions make swimming uncomfortable without a wetsuit, though some experienced cold-water swimmers still take part in open-water swimming. The rougher seas and stronger winds during winter also create ideal conditions for surfing, particularly along the Atlantic coast. Overall, the Argentine Sea offers good swimming opportunities in summer, especially in the northern areas, while the southern regions remain colder and better suited for adventure tourism and marine wildlife experiences.
