Costa Blanca in May
Around 19.5 °C by day, sea 19.1 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 5.
May on the Costa Blanca is 19.5 °C by day and 19.1 °C in the sea. Few people swim yet: the water will be 22.6 °C in June and 25.7 °C in July. Load is 3 out of 5.
The swimming season starts in June, and on this shore it is long. The water holds above twenty from June to October: 27 °C in August, 25.5 °C in September, 22.9 °C in October. Then it falls, to 14.7 °C in February. For comparison, in San Sebastián the water stays above twenty only from July to September, peaking at 22.7 °C. That gap is the difference between northern and southern Spain.
