*** 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 lake of Embalse de Pías (Spanish: Embalse de Pías) in Galicia experiences cool to mild water temperatures that vary strongly with the seasons, local weather and reservoir level. In spring the surface typically rises from roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) as snowmelt and rain feed the basin; summer brings the warmest conditions, often 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) at the surface on sunny days; autumn cooling generally produces temperatures around 12–18 °C (54–64 °F); and winter surface values commonly fall to about 4–9 °C (39–48 °F). Deeper water and inflows from streams or dam releases can be markedly colder, and sudden temperature differences are common near the dam or in shaded coves.
Swimming around Embalse de Pías is possible in many places but is subject to local rules and seasonal safety considerations. Because it is a managed reservoir, authorities may impose restrictions at times for water quality, supply management or safety; there are often no lifeguards, submerged hazards and cold currents near outlets, so swimmers should heed signage, check current local regulations and take precautions. In short, recreational bathing is frequently practiced but acceptable locations and conditions depend on management policies and on-the-day conditions.
