Casa Blanca water temperatures peak in the range 26 to 29°C (79 to 84°F) on around the 6th of February and are at their minimum on about the 29th of July, in the range 24 to 27°C (75 to 81°F). Year round warm water temperatures at Casa Blanca mean that a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Casa Blanca can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at Casa Blanca.
