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 Zufre, a reservoir in Andalusia, typically shows noticeable seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter the water commonly sits around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), while spring and autumn see moderate warming to roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). In summer months, surface temperatures often range from about 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), with shallower bays sometimes reaching slightly higher values on hot, calm days. These figures vary with recent rainfall, inflow from mountain streams, depth and wind; deeper or shaded areas remain cooler year-round, and rapid weather changes can shift temperatures by several degrees in a short time.
Swimming at reservoirs like Embalse de Zufre is frequently restricted or discouraged for practical and safety reasons. Reservoirs often serve as water supply sources and authorities may limit bathing to protect water quality and infrastructure; additionally, steep banks, submerged hazards, fluctuating currents, and cold deeper layers pose safety risks and increase the chance of cramps or hypothermia. While some visitors do swim in permitted or informal spots, it is important to follow local signage and regulations and to be aware that allowances and enforcement can vary, so always confirm current rules before entering the water.
