What this list does and doesn't tell you

Sea temperature is one input. Air temperature, wind, swell, and crowding all shape what a beach actually feels like. A 22°C sea on a cold cloudy day with strong onshore wind feels colder than the number suggests. A 17°C sea on a hot still day feels warmer.

The rankings here are typical means built from about ten years of daily readings, so they represent a normal January, not whatever's happening this week. For today's actual reading, click through to any location page. The 30-day chart will show you the current trend.
