In winter the reservoir typically cools to roughly 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), while spring temperatures rise to about 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). During summer the surface commonly reaches 20–28 °C (68–82 °F), with occasional warmer spells pushing temperatures slightly higher on calm, sunny days. In autumn the water gradually cools again to roughly 14–20 °C (57–68 °F).

Swimming at Embalse de Puentes occurs recreationally, especially in the warmer months, but it is subject to local rules and practical considerations. Some stretches are used informally for bathing because summer temperatures can be comfortable, yet authorities may impose restrictions to protect water quality, drinking-water supplies, or for safety reasons such as steep banks, underwater hazards and the absence of lifeguards. Visitors should follow on-site signage and local regulations, be mindful of changing conditions, and avoid areas where bathing is explicitly prohibited to ensure personal safety and protect the reservoir’s functions.
