*** 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

The Albufeira da Barragem de Lucefécit, in Évora District, typically shows water temperatures that reflect the warm, dry Alentejo climate and the cooling effect of reservoir depth. Surface temperatures in summer commonly range from about 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), with shallow bays occasionally warming a few degrees higher on hot spells. Spring and autumn are transitional, with waters around 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) in spring and 14–20 °C (57–68 °F) in autumn. Winter surface temperatures often fall to roughly 8–12 °C (46–54 °F). These are approximate ranges; actual readings vary with recent weather, wind, inflow from cooler rivers or releases, and depth—deeper areas remain colder year-round.

Swimming at reservoirs such as Albufeira da Barragem de Lucefécit is frequently restricted or discouraged rather than broadly promoted. Restrictions arise because many reservoirs supply drinking water and require protection of water quality, and because submerged hazards, variable currents near outlets, and sudden depth changes pose safety risks. Where local authorities permit bathing, it is normally only in designated, signed areas with basic safety measures. Visitors should therefore check municipal rules, posted signage, and any seasonal advisories before entering the water, both for legal compliance and personal safety.
