Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

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 Embassament de Loriguilla, a reservoir serving the Valencia region, shows typical Mediterranean-reservoir temperature behavior: cool in winter and moderate in summer, with notable vertical stratification. Surface temperatures in winter commonly sit around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), rising to roughly 10–20 °C (50–68 °F) through spring. In the warmest months surface readings often reach about 18–25 °C (64–77 °F), while autumn sees a gradual decline to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). These ranges vary with weather, inflow from mountain streams and depth; deeper layers remain markedly colder year-round and sudden thermoclines can make water feel much colder than surface figures suggest.
Swimming at Embassament de Loriguilla is generally restricted or discouraged. The reservoir functions as a drinking-water supply for Valencia and authorities limit bathing to protect water quality and infrastructure. Safety considerations also play a role: steep banks, variable depths, submerged obstacles, lack of lifeguards and occasional boat traffic increase risk for swimmers, and the relatively cool temperatures outside midsummer raise hypothermia concerns. As a result, local rules typically prohibit casual swimming while permitting certain regulated activities under specific conditions or permits; visitors should check the latest local regulations before planning any water-based recreation.
