Annual profile · Coast and sea
Mallorca: the swimming season follows two curves
Average daily highs vary by 15.2 °C through the year, while the sea varies by 12.1 °C. Air and water temperature should therefore be considered separately.
The practical difference
The month with the highest daytime temperature and the month with the warmest sea need not define the same travel window. Rain and sunshine help resolve the trade-off.

For your trip planning
Mallorca: beach or Tramuntana?
Choose swimming months by sea temperature
For a swimming trip, sea temperature matters more than the overall score alone. Compare April, May and September on their month pages rather than treating warm air as evidence of warm water.
Treat the mountains separately
The central Tramuntana is wetter, and its higher ground cooler, than many coastal areas. Our single destination series does not resolve these differences. For mountain outings, also check the local forecast and current trail conditions.
