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
Estella (Spanish: Estella, Basque: Lizarra) is a historic town in Navarre set along the Ega river and within reach of several reservoirs and river bathing spots in the surrounding countryside. While Estella itself does not sit on a large natural lake, nearby embalses and designated river beaches offer summer swimming and recreational options. Local opportunities vary by site: some embankments have informal swimming areas used by residents in warm months, while others are managed more strictly for safety, boating or water supply reasons. Swimming is most popular from late spring through early autumn when daytime temperatures are highest and access is easiest.
Water temperatures in nearby reservoirs and river pools are seasonally variable. Typical winter temperatures range roughly 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), spring 8–15 °C (46–59 °F), summer 18–25 °C (64–77 °F) and autumn 10–18 °C (50–64 °F); mountain-fed streams and shaded river sections can remain notably colder year-round. Whether swimming is allowed depends on local regulations, water quality monitoring and safety considerations—some reservoirs prohibit bathing to protect drinking water or because of currents and boating, while designated beaches with lifeguards and testing permit safe bathing. Visitors should check the status of specific sites before entering the water and heed signage and local guidance.
