Is the water clean at Circolo Nautico?
Thinking of swimming at Circolo Nautico? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Poor — below the EU standard; swimming may be discouraged or restricted by local authorities. 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 Poor for 11 straight years. There's parking about ~210 m from the beach.
Looking to avoid the busiest weeks? The water is typically warmest around August, with the most reliable swimming window running July–September; outside that stretch you'll find a cooler sea but a quieter beach. Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 0 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. On site you'll find Parking. The nearest town, Reggio Calabria, is about ~3.4 km away.
Worth remembering: “Poor” 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. There are 2 places to eat within a kilometre — Fratelli Gallo is the closest, about ~740 m away.

Should you swim at Circolo Nautico?
Best to be careful here: Circolo Nautico's official 2025 classification is Poor, so check for local advisories and posted flags before swimming.
What is the sea temperature at Circolo Nautico today?
The figure above (about 23°C) is placeholder data — the live marine-weather feed wasn't reachable when this page was built, and the real reading will appear automatically once it is. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When should you plan a swimming trip to Circolo Nautico?
For the warmest water, aim for July–September — that's when the modeled sea temperature is typically at its best. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Who measures the water quality rating, and how?
It's based on official water samples: authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring, which assigns one of four grades — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. A few national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual samples during the season itself, ahead of that annual report — that isn't yet available for Circolo Nautico.
