Are you unsure about whether you’ll be able to enjoy long pleasant swims on your trips to the Azores? Understandably so, we no one likes to find out that the waters on their beach are dead cold only upon arrival. Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. We’ll go over the average water temperatures in the Azores in the summer so you can book that hotel doubt-free.
Are waters warm in July?
Water temperatures in the Azores
Though we’re only covering summer in this post, the tourist season in the Azores lasts practically all year. In July, water temperatures tend to sit between 22°C and 23°C in July.
Bathing conditions are more or less the exact same everywhere in the Azores – water only gets cooler after long and heavy rains. Generally, the water is very pleasant and you can certainly enjoy long and relaxing swims in July.
Are waters warm in August?
Water temperatures in the Azores
In August, as tends to be the case, waters get even warmer, as they can reach even 25 degrees Celsius. Usually, though, you will experience around 23°C – 24°C and this is the average temperature for the term. The water is very warm and pleasant, so this is the best time to go swimming on the island. Unfortunately, if you are used to the temperature of the Mediterranean in the summer months, you may find it difficult to adapt at first :). It’s not quite the same. The views should make up for everything though.
