*** 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 Selga de Ordás, a reservoir in Castile and León, experiences marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter months surface temperatures commonly sit around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), rising through spring to roughly 8–16 °C (46–61 °F). Summer brings the warmest surface conditions, typically about 18–25 °C (64–77 °F) on sunny days, while autumn sees a gradual cooling to approximately 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). These are surface ranges; deeper water and shaded areas stay noticeably colder year-round, and short-term changes follow weather patterns, inflows and reservoir management.
Swimming at Embalse de Selga de Ordás is possible in practice during the warmer months but is subject to local regulations and water-quality checks; some parts of the reservoir may be formally restricted because reservoirs often serve water-supply, irrigation or safety functions. Even where bathing is permitted, swimmers should be aware of cold subsurface layers, sudden depth changes, submerged hazards and boat traffic. Visitors should follow signage, respect any official bans, and take standard precautions such as avoiding solitary long swims and monitoring changing weather and water conditions.
