*** 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 das Encrobas is a small reservoir in Galicia whose surface temperatures reflect the region’s mild Atlantic climate and the lake’s shallow character. Typical seasonal surface ranges are roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) in spring, 16–24 °C (61–75 °F) in summer, 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) in autumn, and 4–10 °C (39–50 °F) in winter. Short-term variations depend on air temperature, wind and depth: shallow areas warm faster on sunny days while deeper spots remain noticeably cooler. Even in summer the water can feel brisk compared with Mediterranean bathing spots, and early/late season swimming is likely to be uncomfortably cold for many people.
Swimming at Lago das Encrobas is not broadly promoted and may be restricted in places for safety and water-quality reasons. The lake has a history tied to mining and reservoir management that can affect water chemistry and there are steep, uneven banks and limited lifeguard provision, so local authorities or signs sometimes prohibit bathing. Where informal swimming does occur, it is typically limited to the warmest months and done with caution; visitors should check current local guidance on bathing restrictions and water quality before entering.
