*** 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
Embalse del Cubillas, located near Granada in Andalusia, typically shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter the reservoir often cools to around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), while spring sees a gradual rise to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Peak summer surface temperatures commonly range from about 22–28 °C (72–82 °F), especially in calm, sunny spells, and autumn brings a steady decline back toward spring values, generally around 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). These figures are approximate and can change with recent weather, water depth, inflows and levels; deeper or shaded parts remain colder year-round.
As for swimming, Cubillas is primarily a managed reservoir used for water supply and ecological purposes, so bathing is often not officially permitted or is discouraged. Restrictions aim to protect drinking water quality and to reduce safety risks associated with sudden depth changes, submerged obstacles, strong currents near inlets or outlets, and the absence of lifeguards. In practice some locals and visitors may enter the water in summer where access is easy, but doing so can contravene local rules and carries potential hazards. If you plan to swim, check current local regulations and exercise caution regarding water temperature, depth, and safety.
