*** 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 Alcorlo, located in Castilla–La Mancha, experiences clear seasonal variation in water temperature. In summer months (June–August) surface temperatures commonly reach about 20–25 °C (68–77 °F) in sheltered bays, while spring and autumn are cooler, typically ranging from roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Winter temperatures often fall to near 6–10 °C (43–50 °F), especially in deeper or wind-exposed areas. These figures are approximate: shallow, sun‑exposed coves warm faster and may be a few degrees higher, whereas deeper sections remain colder year‑round and stratification can produce a significant difference between surface and underwater temperatures.

Swimming at Alcorlo is possible and is a common summer activity, particularly in calmer inlets, but it is subject to local rules and practical limitations. Some stretches are used for water supply, recreation, or boating, and authorities may restrict bathing in specific zones to protect drinking water or for safety reasons; absence of lifeguards, submerged obstacles, variable depths and cold-water shock are real hazards. Visitors should check current signage or municipal guidance before entering the water, choose sheltered spots, be cautious of boats, and consider a wetsuit if temperatures are below comfortable ranges.
