*** 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 Pontón Alto, a reservoir in Castile and León, typically shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature because of its altitude and mountain-influenced climate. In spring the surface usually warms from around 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) as snowmelt and colder inflows recede. Summer sees the warmest conditions, with surface temperatures commonly between 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) on sunny days, though deeper water remains much colder. Autumn brings cooling to roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) while winter surface temperatures can fall to about 2–6 °C (36–43 °F), with ice possible at the margins in particularly cold periods.
Swimming at the Embalse del Pontón Alto depends on local rules and practical considerations rather than uniform practice across the site. Some areas may be accessible for informal bathing during warmer months, but official access is often limited or controlled for reasons including protection of drinking and irrigation water quality, safety hazards like sudden depth changes and cold thermoclines, and the absence of lifeguard services. Visitors are advised to observe local signage and municipal regulations before entering the water, and to take precautions against cold water shock even on warm days.
