*** 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 La Minilla sits in Andalusia and the water temperature there follows the Mediterranean inland pattern: cold in winter, cool in spring and autumn, and pleasantly warm in summer. Typical winter surface temperatures range from about 8 to 12 °C (46–54 °F), spring and autumn commonly see 12 to 18 °C (54–64 °F), and summer surface temperatures often climb to roughly 20 to 26 °C (68–79 °F), with shallow bays occasionally reaching the upper end of that spectrum on hot, calm days. Subsurface layers remain cooler year‑round, so even in warm months the water can feel markedly colder than the air, and temperature can vary locally with depth, inflows and exposure to sun and wind.
Swimming at Embalse de La Minilla is subject to local rules and practical considerations rather than being uniformly encouraged. Many reservoirs in the region are regulated because they serve as water supply, involve infrastructure hazards, and present safety risks such as steep banks, submerged obstacles and cold shocks; for those reasons some areas may be officially restricted. In practice people sometimes swim in permitted spots when signage or municipal regulations allow it, but visitors should check current local regulations and posted warnings and be cautious about water quality and hidden dangers before entering.
