*** 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 water temperature at Embalse del Ruecas in Extremadura varies seasonally and with depth, so figures are approximate. In spring (March–May) surface temperatures typically range from about 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) as the reservoir warms after winter. Summer (June–August) is when the surface can be warmest, often around 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), and in shallow bays it can occasionally reach the upper twenties Celsius on hot years. Autumn (September–November) usually brings cooling to roughly 15–20 °C (59–68 °F). In winter (December–February) the reservoir commonly falls to about 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), with deeper water remaining colder. Local weather, recent rainfall, and depth make significant short‑term variations possible.
Swimming at Embalse del Ruecas is used for recreation but is subject to local rules and safety considerations. Many reservoirs in Extremadura permit bathing in open areas, but swimming may be restricted near the dam, intake structures, boat channels, or where signage forbids access; these measures exist for safety, water supply protection, and to avoid hazards such as sudden depth changes, submerged obstacles, or boat traffic. Water quality and cold water shock in cooler months are additional reasons for caution: temperatures below about 15 °C (59 °F) can feel very cold and increase risk during prolonged swims. Visitors should check current local guidance and posted signs before entering the water.
