Is the water clean at Meillerie Locum?
Thinking of swimming at Meillerie Locum? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Excellent — the highest official classification under the EU bathing-water assessment. That rating is set once a year under the EU Bathing Water Directive, from a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli reported to the European Environment Agency the following spring, so the 2025 season's grade appeared in spring 2026 and the 2026 season won't be graded until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Excellent for 7 straight years. You can park about ~40 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 7 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. Meillerie — the closest town — sits about ~2.9 km from here.
Worth remembering: “Excellent” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Haute-Savoie.
Frequently asked questions
Can you safely swim at Meillerie Locum?
Generally, yes. Meillerie Locum's 2025 EU Bathing Water rating is Excellent — the highest tier — backed by 7 of 7 classified seasons rated Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Excellent for 7 straight years.
How cold or warm is the water at Meillerie Locum today?
That reading, around 24°C, is a placeholder rather than a live measurement, shown only because the marine-weather feed was temporarily unreachable; it updates automatically once the feed returns. That's the reading right off Haute-Savoie.
What's the best month to visit Meillerie Locum for swimming?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through July–September, based on the modeled climatology. That applies to the water around Haute-Savoie.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
The annual classification — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — is built from a full season of official testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring. Some national authorities (Croatia's IZOR among them) also publish individual samples during the season itself; Meillerie Locum isn't yet covered by that in-season feed.

By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Locum, about ~70 m away. The nearest town is Meillerie, about ~2.9 km away.
