✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 68°F (20°C) to 74°F (23°C). The water is warm and pleasant for swimming, and in this range, one can stay in the water for extended periods without the risk of hypothermia. This is the ideal temperature for relaxation, swimming, and water sports. Families with children, as well as outdoor enthusiasts, will enjoy swimming and time spent in the water. For most people, this is the optimal temperature for a comfortable beach experience. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather.

*** 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
Granada (in Spanish: Granada) sits at the meeting point of lowland reservoirs and high mountain lakes, so water temperatures vary widely by site and season. In the lower-elevation reservoirs and embalses near the city and valleys, expect winter surface temperatures roughly 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), spring and autumn around 10–18 °C (50–64 °F), and summer typically 18–26 °C (64–79 °F). By contrast, the high-altitude lakes and tarns of the Sierra Nevada remain quite cold: outside midsummer they often sit between about 2–8 °C (36–46 °F), and even in summer many are only 6–14 °C (43–57 °F). These ranges depend on recent weather, depth, inflow and sunshine, so local measurements can differ from broad estimates.
Swimming is possible in many of Granada’s reservoirs during the warm months, especially where local authorities designate bathing areas, but rules and practicality vary. Some embalses permit swimming for recreation, while others are restricted because they serve as drinking-water sources or lie within protected wetlands and nature reserves, where access is limited to protect wildlife. Safety considerations also matter: cold water at high altitude, sudden temperature changes, lack of lifeguards, underwater hazards and water-quality advisories can make swimming inadvisable even when not formally prohibited. Always follow on-site signage and municipal guidance before entering the water.
