*** 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 Ebro in Cantabria is a large reservoir whose surface temperatures vary considerably through the year. In winter the water typically sits around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), making it very cold for bathing. Spring sees a gradual warming to roughly 8–16 °C (46–61 °F) as air temperatures rise and inflows moderate. Peak summer temperatures generally range from about 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) in sheltered, shallow areas, though deeper zones remain cooler. In autumn the surface cools again to roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) as daylight and air temperatures decline. Local weather, inflow from rivers, and reservoir operations can shift these averages from year to year.
Swimming at Embalse del Ebro is subject to local rules and practical constraints rather than an unconditional yes or no. Some stretches may see informal bathing in summer because the temperature is tolerable, but official access is often limited or regulated because the reservoir serves water supply and hydropower functions, and because hazards such as steep banks, sudden depth changes, submerged obstacles, boat traffic and water-quality issues can pose safety risks. In short, while occasional summer swims occur, visitors should follow posted regulations and municipal guidance and avoid areas where swimming is explicitly prohibited.
