*** 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 la Risca in Murcia experiences clear seasonal variation in surface water temperatures typical of inland Mediterranean reservoirs. During winter months the surface usually cools to roughly 8–12 °C (46–54 °F). Spring brings a steady rise, with temperatures commonly between 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) as the lake warms, while peak summer values often reach about 20–28 °C (68–82 °F) on warm afternoons and can exceed that during heat waves. In autumn the surface gradually cools again, typically settling in the 14–20 °C (57–68 °F) range. Deeper water remains colder year‑round and thermal stratification in summer can mean abrupt temperature changes with depth.

Swimming in Embalse de la Risca is not universally recommended and is subject to local rules. Many reservoirs in the region serve water supply and irrigation functions and thus have restrictions or discouragements for bathing for reasons of public safety and water quality; sudden depth changes, submerged obstacles, boat traffic and lack of lifeguards increase risk. Informal bathing may occur in warmer months where access is easy, but visitors should follow posted signs and municipal guidance. If choosing to swim, be cautious about cold subsurface layers, currents near inlets or outlets, and the absence of rescue services.
