*** 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 Aracena, a reservoir in Andalusia’s Sierra de Aracena, shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter the lake commonly cools to around 8–12 °C (46–54 °F), while spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Peak summer surface temperatures often reach about 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), with shallow bays occasionally warming a few degrees higher on hot, calm days. In autumn the water cools again toward roughly 14–20 °C (57–68 °F). These figures are approximate; actual temperatures depend on recent weather, depth, and inflow, and deeper layers remain colder year-round.
Swimming at Embalse de Aracena is subject to local regulation and practical constraints. Many Spanish reservoirs restrict or discourage bathing to protect drinking-water quality, manage safety risks such as sudden depth changes and submerged hazards, and preserve the ecological balance; as a result official permissions can be limited or conditional. In practice, people sometimes swim in accessible, warmer areas during summer, but visitors should heed signage and consult local authorities before entering the water. Even when allowed, swimmers should be cautious about temperature differences between surface and depth, currents near inlets, and variable visibility.
