*** 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 del Aguijón, in Extremadura, experiences typical Mediterranean reservoir temperatures that vary by season and depth. In summer the surface water commonly warms to roughly 20–28 °C (68–82 °F), and during heat waves can approach 30 °C (86 °F). Spring and autumn are transitional, with surface readings often between 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). In winter the reservoir cools to around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), with deeper layers remaining markedly colder year-round due to thermal stratification. Local weather, recent rainfall, inflows and the reservoir’s depth all influence actual temperatures at specific spots and depths.
Swimming in Embalse del Aguijón is possible and often practiced, but whether it is officially permitted depends on local regulations and signage; some reservoirs allow recreational bathing while others restrict access for safety or water-management reasons. Even where swimming is allowed, caution is advised because of cold thermoclines, variable depths, submerged hazards, intake currents, boat traffic and occasional water-quality issues such as algal blooms. Visitors should check local rules, observe posted warnings and take standard safety precautions like avoiding isolated areas and entering cold water gradually.
