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
The Pantà de la Palma d'Ebre is a reservoir in Catalonia whose water temperature varies markedly through the year. In winter the surface temperature typically sits around 5–10 °C (41–50 °F), while spring sees a rise to roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) as solar heating increases. The warmest months, usually July and August, bring surface temperatures in the range of 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), with shallow bays sometimes warming a few degrees higher on calm days. In autumn temperatures generally decline to about 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) as cooling returns. Deeper areas of the reservoir remain noticeably colder year-round and thermoclines can produce sharp temperature differences below the surface.
Swimming in the Pantà de la Palma d'Ebre is commonly possible, but it depends on local rules, water quality and safety considerations. Many visitors swim in warm months because surface temperatures are comfortable, but users must heed signage and municipal regulations: reservoirs can be managed for irrigation or supply, have variable water levels, hidden drop-offs, boat traffic and no lifeguards, and occasional algal blooms or contamination events can restrict access. For these reasons swimming is generally allowed in accessible spots when authorities deem water quality and conditions safe, but always check local notices and exercise caution.
