Frequently asked questions
Where to swim in Tenerife today?＋
Use the live list above: TenerifePulse shows beaches with calm or moderate swimming risk from marine and AEMET data. Numbers change several times a day with the swell. The beach flag always overrides the app.
Which Tenerife beaches have calm seas today?＋
Calm beaches appear at the top of this page (green). South and west coasts are often more sheltered than the north. If everything is rough, check natural lava pools when conditions allow.
How do I know if a Tenerife beach is swimmable today?＋
TenerifePulse calculates the swimming risk in real time from Open-Meteo and AEMET marine data: "Calm" (waves < 0.5 m), "Moderate" (0.5–1.5 m), "Not advised" (> 1.5 m). This is not the municipal flag: a red flag on site means no swimming even if the app says calm.
What does a red flag mean on a Tenerife beach?＋
Red = swimming forbidden — dangerous conditions (strong currents, high waves or pollution). Yellow = caution, supervised swimming. Green = swimming allowed and calm conditions. We do not show municipal flags live — follow on-site signals and lifeguards.
What if the sea is rough everywhere in Tenerife?＋
Skip open-water swimming. Options: natural pools when safe (/plages/piscines-naturelles), non-beach activities, or wait for a calmer morning window. Check /meteo by zone — the south is often milder than the north.
What is the sea temperature in Tenerife today?＋
Sea temperature by zone is on the weather page (/meteo), typically about 19°C in winter to 24°C in late summer. This page focuses on swimming risk (calm or not), not full UV/wind detail.
