*** 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
Lago del Salto, an artificial reservoir in Lazio, typically has cool, seasonally variable water. Surface temperatures in summer often reach roughly 18–26 °C (64–79 °F) on warm days, while spring and autumn values commonly sit between about 8–16 °C (46–61 °F). In winter the surface can fall to roughly 4–8 °C (39–46 °F) and deeper layers remain colder year-round. Because it is a reservoir with significant depth and limited mixing in places, thermal stratification is common: the surface warms in summer but plunges rapidly with depth, so those venturing beyond shallow areas can encounter much colder water.
Swimming in Lago del Salto is a seasonal activity that is generally done in the summer months where local beaches or designated access points exist. Recreational bathing is often permitted in parts of the lake, but rules can vary and some zones—particularly near the dam, boat lanes or water-management facilities—are restricted for safety. Visitors should follow posted signage and municipal regulations, be aware of boat traffic, sudden depth changes and cold-water shock, and check local water-quality information before swimming. Lifeguard services are not guaranteed, so personal caution is advised.
