*** 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 do Bao, a reservoir in Galicia, typically shows the cool, temperate water behavior common to inland Atlantic basins. Seasonal surface temperatures generally range from about 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) in spring, rise to roughly 16–24 °C (61–75 °F) in summer, fall back to approximately 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) in autumn, and drop to near 6–12 °C (43–54 °F) in winter. These figures can vary year to year with weather patterns, and deeper water remains noticeably colder than surface readings; sudden drops in temperature are possible even on warm days because of thermal stratification and inflows of colder mountain streams.
Swimming at reservoirs like Encoro do Bao is often restricted or discouraged by local authorities for safety and water-quality reasons. Official prohibitions commonly aim to protect drinking-water catchments, prevent accidents from submerged structures and variable depths, and reduce ecological impacts; nonetheless, informal bathing sometimes occurs where access is easy and signage is absent. If you plan to enter the water, check on-site notices or municipal rules, be aware of cold-water shock and underwater hazards, and consider that lifeguard services are unlikely in such rural reservoirs.
