*** 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 Viñuela, located in Andalusia near Vélez-Málaga, has water temperatures that follow the region’s Mediterranean rhythm. In summer the reservoir typically warms to about 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), with isolated heat-wave days pushing surface temperatures toward the upper twenties. Autumn sees a gradual cooling to roughly 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) as air temperatures drop and inflows change. Spring temperatures generally range from 14–20 °C (57–68 °F) while winter months are coolest, often between 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) depending on rainfall and reservoir turnover.
Swimming in Embalse de La Viñuela is a common recreational activity but not uniformly regulated; bathing is generally permitted in open areas and popular coves, yet there are no comprehensive lifeguard services and local rules can restrict access near infrastructure. Authorities may impose temporary bans or advisories for reasons such as water-management operations, quality concerns, sudden drops in level, submerged hazards and boat traffic. Visitors should therefore look for official signage, respect protected zones, and take standard safety precautions when entering the reservoir.
