*** 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 Baños, a reservoir in Extremadura, typically shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter, surface temperatures commonly range from about 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), while spring and autumn usually see values around 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) as the water warms or cools. In summer months, shallow areas and sheltered bays can reach roughly 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), though open and deeper sections remain cooler. These figures are approximate and can shift with weather patterns, wind-driven mixing and local depth: deeper or more exposed areas stay notably colder than sunlit, shallow coves.

Swimming at Embalse de Baños is a frequent recreational activity but not uniformly regulated; some shorelines are used by swimmers while others are restricted due to safety, water quality or proximity to boat lanes and the dam. There are often no formal lifeguards, so swimmers should heed local signs, seasonal advisories and any municipal rules. Potential hazards include sudden temperature changes, cold deeper water that increases hypothermia risk, underwater obstacles and motorized boat traffic. Water quality may vary after heavy rains or during algal blooms, so checking current conditions before entering is advisable.
