Frequently asked questions about Nerja weather

When is the best time to visit Nerja?+
Nerja enjoys over 320 days of sunshine per year. May to October is ideal for the beach, with temperatures of 25–32°C. Winter is mild (15–18°C), perfect for hiking and cultural tourism.
What is the sea water temperature in Nerja?+

Are there tides on Nerja's beaches?+

Is it safe to swim in Nerja today?+
Check the "Sea Today" panel on this page for the current swell, currents and water temperature. In general, Nerja's beaches have calm waters for most of the year.
Is the weather the same on the beach and in the mountains around Nerja?+
No. On Pico del Cielo (1,508 m) it is usually 8-10 °C cooler than on the beach, and in Frigiliana or El Pinarillo 2-3 °C cooler. That is why this page gives the weather for 11 areas, each calculated at its real altitude. On the coast the difference comes from the wind: with an easterly (levante), Burriana is the most sheltered beach.

What will the weather be like in Nerja over the next 14 days?+
The 14-day forecast on this page is reliable for the first 7 days; from day 8 on it is a trend that may change. For dates further ahead, check the average climate in our month-by-month guides to Nerja.
How is the air quality in Nerja?+
Nerja usually has excellent air quality thanks to sea breezes and the absence of heavy industry. The AQI index rarely exceeds 50 ("Good"), although olive and grass pollen can rise in spring.
