Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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 Pinilla, a mountain reservoir in the Madrid region, has characteristically cold water due to its altitude and seasonal snowmelt. Typical winter temperatures often sit around 2–6 °C (36–43 °F), while spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F). In the warmest months the surface can warm to roughly 15–22 °C (59–72 °F) on sunny days, though deep or shaded areas remain cooler; autumn sees a decline back toward 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) as air temperatures fall and inflows cool.

Bathing at Embalse de Pinilla is generally restricted or discouraged rather than formally promoted. Many reservoirs in the region are managed for water supply, ecological protection and safety, so swimming may be prohibited by local authorities to protect drinking-water quality and to reduce risks from cold water shock, underwater hazards and boat traffic. Informal swimming does sometimes occur in summer when surface temperatures are highest, but there are typically no lifeguards, and conditions can be unpredictable. Visitors should follow on-site signage and municipal regulations, and be aware that even in midsummer the water can feel very cold and pose safety concerns.
