Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Embalse de Arrocampo, a reservoir in Extremadura created as a cooling basin for nearby power facilities, shows notable variation in water temperature through the year. In winter the surface usually ranges around 8–12 °C (46–54 °F), spring temperatures typically rise to 12–18 °C (54–64 °F), summer values commonly sit between 20–28 °C (68–82 °F) and can be locally warmer close to discharge channels, and autumn cools to roughly 15–20 °C (59–68 °F). Because the reservoir is used to dissipate heat, there can be abrupt temperature differences within short distances and occasional warm plumes that keep some areas warmer than typical natural lakes.

Swimming at Embalse de Arrocampo is generally not encouraged and is often subject to local restrictions because of its role as an industrial cooling pond. Authorities and management frequently discourage bathing for safety and operational reasons: fluctuating temperatures, currents near inlets and outlets, submerged infrastructure, and the need to control access for environmental and technical management. Visitors who seek recreational water activities should look for designated and supervised bathing sites in the region and heed signage and municipal rules at Arrocampo to avoid hazards and respect conservation and safety measures.
