*** 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
Murcia (Spanish: Murcia) sits in a semi-arid part of southeastern Spain where natural and artificial bodies of water show distinct seasonal patterns. In the coastal Mar Menor lagoon, water temperatures typically range from about 13–16 °C (55–61 °F) in winter to 24–28 °C (75–82 °F) at the height of summer, with spring and autumn intermediate (roughly 16–20 °C / 61–68 °F in spring and 20–24 °C / 68–75 °F in autumn). Inland reservoirs and smaller lakes around Murcia are generally a few degrees cooler: expect roughly 10–14 °C (50–57 °F) in winter, rising to 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) in summer, with transitional temperatures in spring and autumn.
Swimming in Murcia’s waters is commonly possible but depends on location and season. The Mar Menor is a popular bathing area and is usually open for swimming in warm months, though authorities may restrict access when water quality problems, algal blooms or ecological concerns occur. Many reservoirs permit swimming only in designated zones or when safety and water-management rules allow; others prohibit bathing to protect drinking water supplies or for safety reasons. Visitors should follow local signage and municipal guidance because permissions change with ecological conditions, public-health assessments and seasonal water management.
