Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Elche, in the Valencian Community, is surrounded by a mix of shallow lagoons and reservoirs — most notably the El Hondo wetlands — whose water temperatures reflect the Mediterranean climate. Seasonal surface temperatures in these inland waters typically run about 8–13 °C (46–55 °F) in winter, 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) in spring, 20–28 °C (68–82 °F) in summer, and 15–22 °C (59–72 °F) in autumn. Shallow, sun-exposed ponds can warm faster and occasionally reach around 30 °C (86 °F) during heatwaves, while deeper or more shaded reservoirs tend to remain several degrees cooler. Local weather, depth, flow, and salinity all influence these values, so temperatures vary between specific water bodies and from year to year.
Swimming in the lakes and protected lagoons around Elche is generally restricted or discouraged. Many of these sites are part of nature reserves where access and recreational bathing are limited to protect bird habitats and sensitive ecosystems; other reservoirs may prohibit swimming for safety reasons, water quality concerns, or the absence of lifeguards and facilities. For safe recreational swimming, visitors typically use managed municipal pools or the Mediterranean beaches a short drive away, where bathing is supervised and water quality is regularly monitored. Always check local signage and regulations before entering any inland water.
