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 locally as Embalse de la Rambla de Algeciras sits in the semi-arid landscape of Murcia, so its surface water follows a clear seasonal pattern. In summer months the upper layers can warm to roughly 20–27 °C (68–81 °F) on sunny, calm days, with shallow bays occasionally reaching the upper end of that range. Spring and autumn temperatures are usually milder, commonly between 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) as air temperatures moderate. In winter the water cools substantially, often falling to about 8–12 °C (46–54 °F) in colder spells. These are approximate ranges: actual temperatures vary with depth, recent rainfall or inflows, and short-term weather, so local readings may differ.
Swimming at Embalse de la Rambla de Algeciras is frequently restricted rather than widely encouraged. Like many Spanish reservoirs used for water supply and irrigation, there are safety and water-quality reasons for limits: authorities may prohibit bathing to protect potable-water sources, and reservoir environments pose hazards such as steep banks, submerged obstacles, sudden depth changes and variable currents. Where swimming is allowed it is usually in small, designated areas and only when posted signs and local regulations permit, so visitors should check with municipal notices before entering the water.
