*** 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

Embalse de Guadalteba, located in Andalusia, typically shows clear seasonal variation in water temperature. In winter months (December–February) surface temperatures commonly range from about 8–12 °C (46–54 °F). Spring (March–May) sees a steady warm-up to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Summer (June–August) brings the warmest conditions, with surface readings often between 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), while autumn (September–November) cools back to approximately 15–20 °C (59–68 °F). Actual temperature at depth will be lower and local weather—heatwaves or heavy rains—can shift these figures season to season. These values reflect typical reservoir behavior in the Málaga inland area rather than exact daily measurements.

Swimming at Embalse de Guadalteba is possible in practice and the reservoir is used for recreational activities, but permissions vary and some zones may be restricted. Restrictions are usually in place because the reservoir is part of a water supply system and for safety reasons such as steep banks, boat traffic, or sudden depth changes. Visitors should follow local signage and municipal regulations; where designated bathing areas exist and conditions are safe, summer temperatures often make swimming comfortable, while spring and autumn can feel chilly and winter waters are generally too cold for prolonged swimming without protection.
