*** 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
Pontevedra, in Galicia, sits within a landscape of rivers, estuaries and a few small lakes and reservoirs influenced by the Atlantic climate. Water temperatures in these inland bodies of water tend to be cooler than Mediterranean lakes but warmer than open ocean in summer because they are shallower and more sheltered. Typical seasonal surface temperatures for lakes in the Pontevedra area run roughly from about 10–14 °C (50–57 °F) in winter, rising to 12–17 °C (54–63 °F) in spring, 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) in summer — with occasional warm spells approaching 25 °C (77 °F) in shallow spots — and cooling to 14–18 °C (57–64 °F) in autumn. Local rainfall, freshwater inflows and sunlight exposure produce year-to-year variation.
Swimming in and around Pontevedra is commonly practised, especially in summer, but it is generally confined to designated bathing areas on beaches, estuarine zones or officially approved lake sites where water quality and safety are monitored. Some lakes or reservoirs may be restricted for ecological protection, water supply or safety reasons (depth, currents, submerged hazards), so it is advisable to follow local signs and municipal guidance before entering the water.
