My guess is cool, but certainly swimmable. Sorry I do not know of a site with the temps but would love to find one since I am a swimmer!

How about this site. You only need to find the latitude and longitude for Sorrento and click on "spring" to see the approximate water temperature.

Let me guess for early June. I say between 65 to 70---too chilly for me.

You don't insert any data on the site. The latitude is 40.6; longitude is 14.4 - I looked this up for you using google.

Look at the map and find the square that corresponds to Sorrento's latitude and longitude. 40.6 is just above the horizontal line for 40N (40 degrees north). 14.4 is near the vertical line for 15E (15 degrees east).

So the water temp in the spring (shown in green) is between 60 and 68 degrees.

If you know where Sorrento is on the water temperature map, then you can approximate the water temp. In the summer it's harder to figure out w/o the latitude and longitude.

What your question asked is how to find sea water temperature on the web. This site above answers that question. Just look at the map and click on the seasons to get water temps in Italy throughout the year.

But when I tried using the map, the temps were the same for summer and autumn.
