Is the water clean at Orb-Baignade Du Pont?
Orb-Baignade Du Pont sits on a stretch of coast classed as a river bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow 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 sits in Hérault. You can park about ~50 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. If you're timing a visit around water temperature rather than crowds, July–September is the safest bet, with August typically the peak — expect a cooler, calmer sea either side of that stretch. Roquebrun — the closest town — sits about ~200 m from here.
That “Good” label comes from a full season of official water sampling, not a single test — it's one step on a four-point scale (Excellent, Good, Sufficient, Poor) reassessed once a year. Today's actual conditions can differ from the seasonal average, so for a live snapshot see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. Worth noting: the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's especially worth checking the latest local advisories. There are 3 places to eat within a kilometre — Le Petit Nice is the closest, about ~110 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Can you safely swim at Orb-Baignade Du Pont?
Generally, yes. Orb-Baignade Du Pont holds a Good rating for 2025, the second-best classification, and 11 of 11 classified seasons have met the Excellent-or-Good bar. That said, the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's worth checking for current local advisories too.
Is the sea warm at Orb-Baignade Du Pont today?
That's placeholder data, not a live measurement: Orb-Baignade Du Pont's marine-weather feed couldn't be reached, so the panel above is showing an estimated ~24°C until the real feed comes back. That's the reading right off Hérault.
What's the ideal time of year to swim at Orb-Baignade Du Pont?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through July–September, based on the modeled climatology. That applies to the water around Hérault.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
The grade comes from a full season of official sampling for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive, which assigns Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. Some countries (Croatia, via IZOR) also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report; Orb-Baignade Du Pont doesn't have that feed yet.
Can you drive to Orb-Baignade Du Pont?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Roquebrun - Centre, about ~250 m away. The nearest town is Roquebrun, about ~200 m away.
