Lagos Travel Forum

Heading to Lagos in 2 weeks. Spending a few days around Paia Dona Ana. I was wondering what the water temperature would be (approx.) and if swimming is possible, or crazy?

Also, want to head east into Cordoba or Sevilla, Spain. Are there trains or buses heading from Lagos to Cordoba / Sevilla?

Thanks for the help.

the sea is freezing cols this time of year.
most likely around 14-15 degrees celcius.

Hi
We were in Lagos in January for a week. I went paddling in the sea nearly every day and would have had a swim but the waves were a little too big for my liking, there were a few people swimming. Sea wasn't cold once you got used to it.
The temperatures should be a litle warmer by now so i think it will be possible. I suppose it depends on what you class as cold but coming from the North West of England i found the temperatures to be quite warm. The beaches around Lagos are beautiful and very peaceful at this time of year.
Sorry i can't help re: your other question. Enjoy your holiday.

Hello ViktorVaughn

There is a coach service to Sevilla from Lagos.
Takes 6.5 hrs and costs 19 euros one way.

Have a good time in Lagos!

The Atlantic is never going to be like the Med. and the water can be cold in June/July never mind March. If it helps I was swimming in sea at Xmas and also in March. Cold at first but 'nice once you're in' as they say. Hang on to yer bitz!

What about water temps for the first half of August ??

We love snorkeling but we have been used to the wartm Greek waters !

its still fairly cold in august.
around 18 degrees celcius mostly.
the atlantic keeps the water in the western part of the algarve fairly cold year around.
