The sea in Marbella is not the warmest - the water temperature does not rise above +23 ° C even in summer. For this reason, many do not recommend this resort for vacation with small children - there is a danger of hypothermia. In practice, however, here swim even in December - in the winter months, the temperature in the Mediterranean Sea in Marbella is about +16-17 ° C.
Full bathing season can begin only in June - in May the water is just beginning to warm up, and very slowly (due to the cold Atlantic current, which gets here through Gibraltar). Since June, the water temperature in Marbella is +22-23 ° C and cools down only in the second half of October. In summer there are rarely strong winds, so the waves of the Mediterranean Sea in Marbella are small (exception - the period from January to April, at this time, storms are possible).
