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
Figueres, a town in Catalonia known for its cultural attractions, sits in the Empordà plain with several lakes and reservoirs within easy driving distance. Water temperature in nearby natural lakes and reservoirs follows a clear seasonal pattern: in winter surface temperatures commonly drop to about 6–9 °C (43–48 °F), spring warms them to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F), summer typically brings the most comfortable conditions at around 22–26 °C (72–79 °F) and can occasionally reach about 28 °C (82 °F) during heat waves, while autumn sees a gradual cooling to approximately 14–19 °C (57–66 °F). Shallow ponds and smaller reservoirs warm and cool more quickly than deeper waters, so local variations are normal and weather plays a strong role.
Swimming opportunities are available but regulated and variable. Popular sites such as Estany de Banyoles, a short distance from Figueres, have designated bathing areas and are commonly used for recreation in summer when temperatures are highest. Other reservoirs or managed water bodies near Figueres may restrict bathing for water-supply, safety or conservation reasons, and some spots lack lifeguard cover. Visitors should check local signage and seasonal rules before swimming; when allowed, the warmest and most pleasant conditions are usually from mid-June to September.
