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 reservoir known in Spanish as Embalse de Zapata experiences marked seasonal shifts in water temperature because it is an inland reservoir in Navarre. In winter the surface temperature typically falls to roughly 4–10 °C (39–50 °F), while spring brings a gradual rise to about 8–16 °C (46–61 °F). During the warmest months of summer, surface waters commonly reach 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), making conditions most comfortable for bathing. Temperatures then fall again in autumn to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). These ranges can vary with recent weather, depth and inflow from mountain streams; deeper or shaded areas remain colder year-round.
Swimming at Embalse de Zapata is possible in many seasons, particularly in summer when surface temperatures are highest, but access and permissibility depend on local regulations and safety conditions. Some zones may be designated as protected intake areas or be temporarily closed for water-management reasons, and hazards such as steep banks, submerged obstacles and the absence of lifeguards mean caution is needed. Water quality is generally monitored, yet users should look for official signage or municipal guidance before entering the water. In short, bathing is commonly allowed outside restricted sections, but always check local rules and current conditions for safety and legal compliance.
