*** 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 reservoir known as Embalse del Pardo, near Madrid, experiences marked seasonal variation in surface water temperatures typical of inland reservoirs in central Spain. In winter the surface commonly sits around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), rising through spring to roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). In summer, particularly during heat waves, surface temperatures can reach about 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), while early autumn sees a gradual cooling to 12–20 °C (54–68 °F). These figures are approximate and vary with weather, depth and exposure; deeper water remains significantly colder year-round because of thermal stratification, and sharp temperature differences can occur between shallow bays and the central basin.
Swimming at the Embalse del Pardo (Embalse del Pardo) is generally not permitted or is strongly discouraged. The reservoir is part of a protected watershed and plays a role in regional water supply and conservation, so legal restrictions and signage often prohibit bathing to protect water quality and habitat. Beyond regulatory reasons, the combination of cold deep water, sudden drop-offs, submerged structures and limited lifeguard presence increases safety risks for informal swimmers. Visitors should respect local rules and use designated recreational facilities elsewhere in the Madrid region if they wish to swim.
