*** 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
Estany de Banyoles, the natural lake near the town of Banyoles in Catalonia, has water temperatures that vary noticeably through the year. In winter the surface typically cools to roughly 6–10 °C (43–50 °F), spring brings a rise to about 10–16 °C (50–61 °F), summer surface temperatures commonly reach around 20–26 °C (68–79 °F) on warm days, and autumn cools back toward 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). Because the lake is relatively deep in places, temperatures can be significantly cooler below the surface, so swimmers may feel a sharp change when leaving shallow areas. Actual values depend on yearly weather patterns, wind and local sunlight, so these ranges are approximate.
Swimming in Estany de Banyoles is permitted, but mainly in designated bathing zones during the warmer months for reasons of safety, water quality monitoring and coexistence with rowing and other recreational activities. The municipality typically oversees water quality checks and organizes supervised beaches in summer; outside marked areas or during events there may be restrictions to protect both bathers and athletes. Visitors should follow local signage and seasonal regulations, since conditions can change and colder water at depth or boat traffic can present hazards.
