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
Embassament del Sitjar, in the Valencian region of Spain, experiences typical Mediterranean reservoir temperatures that vary by season. In winter the surface usually cools to roughly 8–12 °C (46–54 °F), spring brings a rise to about 12–18 °C (54–64 °F), and summer surface temperatures commonly reach 20–26 °C (68–79 °F) during July and August. In autumn temperatures decline again to around 14–20 °C (57–68 °F). Deeper layers remain noticeably colder year‑round, and actual readings depend on recent weather, inflows, reservoir level and shading from surrounding terrain, so local conditions can shift these typical ranges.
Swimming possibilities at Embassament del Sitjar are mixed and depend on local rules and conditions rather than being universally permitted. Some areas are informally used for bathing in warm months when surface temperatures are comfortable, but authorities may restrict swimming to protect drinking‑water quality, prevent accidents near intake structures, or because there are no lifeguards and submerged hazards. Algal blooms or sudden currents after inflows can also make bathing unsafe. Before entering the water it is advisable to check posted signage and municipal regulations; when allowed, swim only in designated or commonly used spots and take appropriate safety precautions.
