Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 60°F (15°C) to 65°F (18°C). The water is comfortable for most people, making it an ideal range for water sports enthusiasts. The temperature does not cause significant discomfort, and swimming will be pleasant for the majority. However, it's important to remember that prolonged exposure to the water can still lead to cooling, so it's essential to monitor the time spent in the water, especially for children or elderly people. 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 Mansilla, in La Rioja, is a mid-altitude reservoir whose water temperature varies notably with the seasons and with depth. Typical spring surface temperatures range from about 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) as snowmelt and cooler rains feed the basin. In summer, surface temperatures commonly reach 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), occasionally climbing toward 25–26 °C (77–79 °F) in shallow, sheltered bays on hot spells. Autumn sees a decline to roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F), while winter surface temperatures often fall into the 4–8 °C range (39–46 °F). Deeper water remains colder year-round, and sudden wind-driven mixing can lower surface temperatures quickly, so perceived warmth depends on location and recent weather.

Swimming at Embalse de Mansilla is possible as a recreational activity, but it is subject to local rules and safety considerations. Because the reservoir serves multiple purposes—water storage, irrigation and environmental management—access can be limited in certain zones or seasons; signage or municipal regulations may prohibit bathing in specific areas to protect water quality or for operational safety. Even where allowed, swimmers should be cautious about cold-water shock, underwater currents, and lack of lifeguards, and check local guidance before entering the water.
