*** 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
Ibón de Estanés, a high mountain lake in the Spanish Pyrenees, has cold, clear water shaped by altitude and seasonal snowmelt. Surface temperatures typically range from around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) in late winter and early spring when the lake can be partially frozen, through roughly 4–10 °C (39–50 °F) in autumn and the shoulder seasons. In summer, especially in calm, sunny weeks, surface readings often rise to about 8–16 °C (46–61 °F), though deeper water remains significantly colder. Short warm spells can push the shallowest margins a few degrees higher, but overall the ibón stays markedly cooler than lowland lakes.
Swimming at Ibón de Estanés is not formally prohibited in most years, but it is limited by practical and safety considerations. The low temperatures and sudden mountain weather make cold-water shock and hypothermia real hazards even in summer, and there are no lifeguards or facilities at the site. Visitors who choose to enter the water should be experienced with cold conditions, limit immersion time, and be aware of conservation concerns and any local rules that may apply. Many people prefer to enjoy the lake from the shore or use it for brief dips rather than extended swims.
