*** 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
The Encoro de Edrada, a reservoir in Galicia, typically has cool to moderately warm water depending on season, weather and depth. In winter the surface temperature commonly sits around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), spring brings gradual warming to roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F), summer surface temperatures can reach about 17–24 °C (63–75 °F) on warm days though deeper water remains cooler, and autumn usually sees values of 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). These ranges are approximate and can shift with heavy rain, drought or prolonged sunshine; thermoclines mean that bottom layers stay much colder year-round. The reservoir’s water is therefore rarely as warm as coastal swimming spots, and sudden cold layers can cause thermal shock for unprepared swimmers.
Swimming opportunities at Encoro de Edrada depend on local rules and conditions rather than a single uniform allowance. Some Galician reservoirs permit informal bathing where access is safe, while others restrict swimming to protect water quality, reservoir operations, or for safety reasons such as steep banks, submerged obstacles and boat traffic. Before entering the water it is advisable to check on-site signage or with the municipal authority, to respect any prohibitions, and to be mindful of cold-water risks, limited rescue services and variable underwater conditions.
