*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Arcos de la Frontera, in Andalusia, sits above the Embalse de Arcos reservoir on the Guadalete. Water temperatures in that inland reservoir follow a clear seasonal pattern: in winter surface temperatures commonly range from about 10–14 °C (50–57 °F), in spring from roughly 14–20 °C (57–68 °F), in summer from approximately 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), and in autumn from near 16–22 °C (61–72 °F). These figures are approximate and vary with depth, recent weather, inflows, and wind; shallow bays warm faster while deeper areas remain cooler. On hot summer days surface readings can briefly exceed the typical range, and early-morning temperatures will be lower than afternoon values.
Swimming in the Embalse de Arcos and similar reservoirs around Arcos de la Frontera is subject to local regulation and practical limitations. Many reservoirs are managed for water supply, irrigation and boating, so bathing may be discouraged or formally restricted for water-quality and safety reasons (strong currents, submerged obstacles, and boat traffic). Where authorities permit recreational swimming in designated areas, summer temperatures often make it comfortable; otherwise visitors should heed signage and local rules, and prefer supervised or officially established bathing spots for safety.
