Spring | March, April and May

Spring is one of our favourite times of year in Moraira. Average daytime highs rise from around 18°C in March to 23°C in May. This makes spring particularly pleasant for walking, cycling, golf and exploring the Costa Blanca. By May, many days already feel very summery, although the sea is still considerably cooler than during July and August.

September is one of the best months for anyone who enjoys warm weather but prefers to avoid the busiest part of summer. Average daytime maximum temperatures are still around 28°C in September, while the Mediterranean remains warm after the summer. Even in October, average sea temperatures remain around 22°C, so swimming is often still possible. The chance of rain does increase during autumn. October is generally one of the wetter months of the year.

Our tip

Do not choose your travel dates based only on the highest temperature. July and August are ideal if your priority is the beach and swimming pool.
