Frequently asked questions
How warm is the sea at Playa Benajarafe right now?

What's the best month to visit Playa Benajarafe for swimming?
For water above the comfortably-warm 22°C mark, target June–October — August is typically the high point of that window on the modeled curve. That applies to the water around Málaga.
Is the sea temperature chart above measured or estimated?
Estimated, not measured, for Playa Benajarafe: the chart above models from latitude and season. Some national authorities (Croatia, via IZOR) additionally publish the sea temperature at each official sample, shown alongside the modeled curve when that data exists.
