*** 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 Guadalhorce, a reservoir in Andalusia (commonly called Embalse de Guadalhorce in Spanish), experiences a broad seasonal swing in water temperature typical of inland southern Spanish lakes. In winter the surface water commonly sits around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F), summer surface temperatures often peak in the 22–28 °C range (72–82 °F) on warm years, and autumn cools back to roughly 14–20 °C (57–68 °F). Actual temperatures vary with depth, recent weather, inflow, and yearly climatic conditions, so shallow coves warm faster than the deeper central basin.

Swimming in the Embalse de Guadalhorce is generally restricted or discouraged because the reservoir serves water-supply and flood-control functions and because authorities aim to protect water quality and ensure safety around variable depths, currents, and infrastructure. While people sometimes swim or use non-motorized craft in less-regulated areas, such activity may be subject to local rules, seasonal prohibitions, or signage; therefore it is advisable to follow posted regulations and local guidance before entering the water.
