*** 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

Embalse del Chanza, a reservoir in Andalusia, typically shows a clear seasonal pattern in water temperature. In winter the surface water often falls to roughly 8–12 °C (46–54 °F), while spring brings a gradual rise into the 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) range as air temperatures warm. Summer surface temperatures can reach approximately 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), with the warmest spells occasionally pushing slightly higher in shallow bays. In autumn the water cools again to roughly 14–20 °C (57–68 °F). These values are approximate and vary with recent weather, depth, inflow from tributaries and reservoir management, so local conditions can differ from year to year.

Swimming at Embalse del Chanza is not universally regulated like at a designated beach; many reservoirs in Spain face restrictions or practical limitations. Official prohibition can apply because reservoirs are used for water supply and irrigation, and because of safety concerns such as hidden currents, sudden depth changes, submerged structures and boat traffic. Informal bathing does occur in sheltered areas during warm months, but visitors are advised to check local rules, signage and water quality notices and to be cautious about safety and potential restrictions before entering the water.
