*** 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 das Portas is a reservoir in Galicia whose water temperatures follow the region’s mild Atlantic climate. Winter surface temperatures commonly sit around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), rising through spring to roughly 10–17 °C (50–63 °F). In the warmest months the reservoir can reach about 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), making late summer the most comfortable period for bathing. Autumn sees a gradual cooling back to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). These ranges can vary with year-to-year weather, the depth and flow of the reservoir, and how recently rain or dam releases have refreshed the water.
Swimming at Encoro das Portas is practiced by locals and visitors, particularly in sheltered arms during the warmest weeks, but whether it is officially permitted depends on local regulations and specific zones. Restrictions commonly apply near dam structures, intake points, or where the reservoir serves as a water supply or hydroelectric facility, and authorities may close areas if water quality or safety is a concern. Seasonal temperatures mean summer offers the best conditions for comfortable swimming; spring and autumn are cooler and winter waters are generally too cold for prolonged bathing. Always consult local signage or municipal guidance before entering the water and take usual precautions for currents, underwater hazards, and sudden temperature changes.
