*** 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 los Barrios de Luna, in Castile and León, is a mountain reservoir whose water temperatures reflect its continental and upland setting. Typical seasonal surface temperatures are roughly 2–6 °C (36–43 °F) in winter, 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) in spring, 18–25 °C (64–77 °F) in summer, and 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) in autumn. These figures are approximate and can vary with weather, recent rainfall and depth: shallow bays warm faster in heatwaves, while deeper parts remain significantly cooler. Early mornings and late afternoons tend to be several degrees colder than peak daytime readings.
Swimming in the Embalse de los Barrios de Luna is possible in many of the reservoir’s coves and informal beaches during the warmer months, and local visitors often bathe when surface temperatures reach the upper end of the summer range. However, formal bathing areas and lifeguard services may be limited or absent, and restrictions can apply near the dam, intake channels or during periods of water management for supply and flood control. Safety considerations include sudden depth changes, submerged obstacles and cooler deep water, so swimmers should heed local signage, avoid restricted zones and use caution even when air temperatures are warm.
