For those that have been to Nassua this last couple of weeks.... how cold is the water? I mean is it worth it to do a beach pass this next weekend or two.

Posting because I want to know the same thing! We'll be there on the 10th and I have been wondering the same thing. I'm told the water hovers around the same temp year round but would love some first hand experience.

I looked at 1 dive site that says in JUN-AUG skin or shirt is good for diving but in December a 3mm+ wetsuit is recommended that would be a heck of a difference in water temp.

 

Hope someone that has been there comes back.

According to this website, the current water temperature is 70 degrees: http://www.water-temperature.com/bahamas

 

If you're going to Nassau this weekend, you're probably going to have excellent weather. Here in Florida we've had a beautiful stretch of 80 degree days with no cold fronts in sight. It wouldn't surprise me if the water warmed up a degree or two by the weekend. And you can always enjoy the beach, even if you don't go into the water.

 

Beyond this weekend, you just have to play it by ear. You never know what the weather's going to be in December.

We just spent a week at the Melia and the weather was fabulous but the water was not as warm as I prefer. We did spend the majority of the time in the ocean and it wasn't too bad. I grew up in Southern Calif so I'm used to icy cold ocean water - and this was heavenly compared to that!

 

It's definitely not too cold to enjoy, but not as warm as it is in summer.

Happily, you should still be able to enjoy the beach even when the water temperatures are too chilly for swimming for very long. :)

The pools at the Melia on Cable Beach are quite nice- and big.

My husband I will be there in February. What is the weather usually like in Nassau in February?

Was in Nassau on November 24th. The water was chilly to where it took a minute to adjust. We did a dolphin swim and I sort of got knocked into the water by a rough wave and I adjusted to the temp quickly. My husband put his feet in and said no thanks. So, I guess it depends on the person. In a few weeks, however, I do not think it will be easy to adjust.

Thanks guys... it looks like a snorkel trip may not be in the plan. Beachinbeauty I bet I will be like your husband and just get my toes wet at the most if it is cold...
