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 reservoir known in Spanish as Encoro de Chandrexa de Queixa is set in a mountainous area of Galicia, so its water temperatures tend to be cooler than lowland lakes. Seasonal surface temperatures typically range from about 6–10 °C (43–50 °F) in winter, 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) in spring, 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) in summer, and 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) in autumn. Actual readings vary with recent weather, inflow from mountain streams and springs, and depth: deeper zones stay colder year-round and sudden thermoclines can occur near dam structures.
Swimming opportunities at Encoro de Chandrexa de Queixa depend on local rules and conditions rather than a blanket recreational designation. Some visitors do swim in warmer months, but authorities may restrict bathing in parts of the reservoir due to its role in water supply, fluctuating water levels, submerged hazards and boat traffic. For safety and legal reasons it is advisable to follow posted signage and municipal regulations, be aware of cold-water shock even in summer, and choose sheltered, officially permitted areas if available.
