*** 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 Argos is a reservoir located in the Region of Murcia, built on the Río Argos which is a tributary of the Segura. Because it lies inland and is used for water regulation, its water temperature is influenced by the Mediterranean-climate of the area but also by its depth and the regulation of inflows and outflows. In winter the surface water may lie around 8–12 °C, in spring warms to about 14–18 °C, during the height of summer it might reach 20–24 °C in shallow parts on sunny days, and in autumn it gradually cools down again to around 12–16 °C.

Swimming in Embalse de Argos is possible in principle, particularly when the water is at its warmest in summer, but it is not widely promoted as a typical recreational bathing lake. Because it is primarily a regulated reservoir rather than a purpose-built swim spot, conditions such as depth, water clarity, changing levels and safety need to be considered. In some calmer shallows people may choose to take a dip during the warm months, but swimming is best entered with caution. The reservoir is more often appreciated for fishing, scenic relaxation and nature observation rather than as a major swimming destination.
