*** 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
Madrid (Spanish: Madrid) is surrounded by a mix of reservoirs and small lakes that offer seasonal recreational opportunities. Water temperatures in these inland bodies vary considerably: in winter they commonly range from about 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), in spring from roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F), in summer from roughly 18–25 °C (64–77 °F), and in autumn from about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). The warmest months, typically July and August, produce the most comfortable surface temperatures for brief swims, while shoulder seasons can still be chilly and hypothermia is possible if exposure is prolonged.
Swimming is permitted in some locations around Madrid but prohibited in others, depending on local regulations and the reservoir’s role in drinking-water supply. Popular recreational spots such as the Embalse de San Juan have designated areas where swimming, sunbathing and water sports are allowed, often because they are managed for leisure use; conversely, reservoirs that feed municipal water systems may forbid access to protect water quality. Safety concerns — currents, underwater obstacles, boat traffic and lack of lifeguards — also influence rules and recommended practices, so visitors should follow posted signage and municipal guidance before entering the water.
