The water is really cold. we strongly
recommend to wear a 5 to 7 mm wetsuit, hood and gloves. Some vessels
in the Galapagos provide wet suits to their passengers but we
suggest you contact us for your specific vessel and if there is a
cost involved.
The islands to the north are warmer (up to 26º C), while the central
and southern islands are colder (21º to 25º C). West of
Isabela the waters are very cold (16° to 23°C). There are often
thermo clines between 10 to 30 meters deep.
During an El Niño phenomenon the water temperatures can rise from
25° to 30°. See sea-surface temperatures from January to December on
our
climate / weather page for the Galapagos.
