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 reservoir known as Embalse de El Limonero (Embalse de El Limonero) near Málaga experiences typical Mediterranean seasonal variations in surface water temperature. In winter the surface usually ranges from about 10–14 °C (50–57 °F), warming in spring to roughly 14–20 °C (57–68 °F). Summer surface temperatures commonly reach 20–26 °C (68–79 °F) on warm, calm days, while autumn sees a gradual cooling to roughly 16–22 °C (61–72 °F). Actual temperatures vary with depth, recent rainfall, inflows and air temperature; deep water remains cooler year-round, and shallow bays heat up fastest on sunny days.
Swimming at Embalse de El Limonero is generally discouraged and often officially restricted because the reservoir functions as part of local water supply and irrigation infrastructure. Restrictions are intended to protect drinking-water quality, reduce contamination risk, and address safety concerns such as steep banks, submerged hazards and variable currents. Although some people occasionally enter the water informally, bathing is not promoted and may be subject to local rules or fines; safer, permitted alternatives for swimming are typically found at nearby beaches or designated recreational reservoirs. Visitors should consult local signage and authorities before attempting to swim.
