The information on this site is general guidance. Sea temperatures and best months are long-term averages, not a forecast: check local conditions, ferry timetables and sea warnings before you travel.
Data is used under the licences listed on the data sources page.
Safety at sea. Respect flags and lifeguards, mind currents and tides, never swim alone far from shore, and check the weather before any boat trip.
Affiliate links. Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you book or buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Which partners appear never depends on what the data says: the numbers are the same with or without them.
