Water temp Mallorca

[Heather1972]

Hi all,

 

How’s the water temperature in late June in Mallorca? Seems it might be a litttle cold to do a beach day or am I wrong?

You are wrong... beach time in the Med starts -on a normal year- by late April albeit water is still cold by then and few dare to do much more than a quick "flash visit" to the water, but by mid-May, the water temperature is good enough for "normal" people to swim. Note there are people swimming all year round, but you need to be damn brave for that -I'm not, LOL!. But again, it all boils down to what you understand for "good enough to swim".

If You pick a sheltered bay (Illetas beach) the water temp can be slightly higher also you will need to go in the water to cool off , I am always swimming from the 1st of June and it is warm enough.

When I lived in the Balearic Islands it was always OK to go swimming by mid May. At the end of June weather is good and certainly swimming weather.

Where I am from we swim in 35-55, 72 is down right warm. Sounds lovely.

ROFL. For those raised on the Jersey shore or North of that area....72 was pretty normal :). That being said, in our old age we now prefer South Carolina beaches where the temps are often in the 80s :). We have swam at Mallorca in July and the water was nice (probably mid to upper 70s) but have never been there in June.
