Answer

How reliable are Mallorca’s beach water quality samples?

The samples are useful, but they are taken only a few times at each point during the season, so they cannot capture every short-term change. A storm, a broken pipe or boat activity can affect water quality faster than the map updates. That is why the results are best seen as a strong general guide, not a minute-by-minute status report.
