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 Tentudía in Extremadura experiences noticeable seasonal changes in surface water temperature. In winter the reservoir typically cools to around 8–12 °C (46–54 °F), while spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Summer months are the warmest, with surface temperatures commonly between 22–26 °C (72–79 °F), and during heat waves they can approach the upper twenties Celsius (around 80–82 °F). Autumn sees a steady decline, with temperatures usually in the 15–20 °C (59–68 °F) range. These values vary with depth, inflows, recent weather, and water level, so local conditions can shift temperatures appreciably from year to year.
Swimming at Embalse de Tentudía is generally possible and practiced by locals and visitors, but it is subject to local regulations, water management decisions and safety considerations. Authorities may permit recreational bathing because parts of the reservoir are used for leisure and are accessible, yet restrictions can be imposed for reasons such as water quality monitoring, protection of water supply, boating safety, seasonal drought measures or absence of lifeguards. Anyone planning to swim should check current signage or municipal guidance, be mindful of variable temperatures with depth, and take standard precautions for open-water swimming.
