*** 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
Encoro da Ribeira, a reservoir in Galicia, shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter the water typically cools to around 7–10 °C (45–50 °F). Spring sees a gradual rise to roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) as air temperatures climb and sunlight increases. In the warmest months surface temperatures commonly reach 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), and during heat spells can approach about 26 °C (79 °F). Autumn brings a steady decline back toward the low teens, around 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Actual temperatures depend on weather patterns, reservoir depth, inflow from tributaries and shading from surrounding terrain; deeper water remains colder than the surface.
Swimming is physically possible and people do enter the water in summer, but whether it is officially permitted varies by spot and by municipal rules. Restrictions around dams, intake structures or protected supply areas can prohibit bathing to protect water quality and ensure safety, and local signage should be heeded. Even where allowed, swimmers should be aware of cold, deep layers, submerged hazards and variable currents caused by releases. For safe enjoyment, check local regulations and conditions before swimming and favor supervised or well-established access points.
