*** 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
Embalse de Matalavilla, in Castile and León, is a continental reservoir whose surface temperatures change notably through the year. In winter the water typically ranges from about 4–8 °C (39–46 °F) in shallow areas, warmest in late summer when surface temperatures commonly reach 18–26 °C (64–79 °F). Spring usually brings a steady rise with waters around 8–16 °C (46–61 °F) and autumn shows a gradual cooling to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). These figures are approximate and vary with air temperature, recent rainfall, depth, and mixing — deeper sections remain colder year-round while shallow bays warm faster in calm, sunny weather.
Swimming at Embalse de Matalavilla is not universally promoted and can be subject to local rules and practical limitations. Because it is a managed reservoir used for water supply and irrigation, authorities may discourage or restrict bathing to protect water quality and for operational safety. Additional hazards include sudden depth changes, submerged obstacles, and occasional boat traffic, which reduce its suitability for casual swimming even where not expressly forbidden. Visitors should consult local signage and municipal regulations before entering the water and be mindful of seasonal temperature changes that affect comfort and safety.
