Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Canchales, an inland reservoir in Extremadura, typically shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In summer months surface temperatures often range roughly from 20 to 26 °C (68 to 79 °F), occasionally rising a few degrees on very hot days. Late spring and early autumn usually see more moderate surface values around 14 to 20 °C (57 to 68 °F). During winter the reservoir cools considerably, with surface readings commonly between 4 and 12 °C (39 to 54 °F) depending on cold snaps and recent rainfall. These figures are approximate: actual temperature depends on recent weather, depth, and location within the reservoir, since shallow bays warm faster than deeper channels.

Swimming in Embalse de los Canchales is possible in many open areas but is subject to local rules and practical safety concerns. Authorities or signage may prohibit bathing near infrastructure such as intake towers, outlets and steep banks; water quality, sudden depth changes, submerged obstacles and boat traffic also influence where swimming is advisable. In short, while the reservoir can be a pleasant place to swim in warm months when surface temperatures exceed about 20 °C (68 °F), visitors should follow posted regulations and exercise caution because restrictions are sometimes in place for environmental protection, public safety and reservoir management.
