*** 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
The Pantà de Sant Ponç is a reservoir in Catalonia whose water temperatures vary noticeably with the seasons. In winter the surface temperature typically sits around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), rising in spring to roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). During the warmest months the reservoir can reach 20–26 °C (68–79 °F) at the surface, while autumn sees a gradual cooling to about 12–20 °C (54–68 °F). These ranges depend on recent weather, water level and depth: shallow bays warm more quickly, while deeper or shaded areas remain cooler. Even in summer, early mornings and deeper sections can feel markedly colder than the air temperature.
Swimming at the Pantà de Sant Ponç is possible in many parts of the reservoir, but it is subject to local regulations and signage. Restrictions may be imposed to protect water quality, support reservoir operations (irrigation or supply), or for safety reasons, and lifeguards are typically not provided, so swimmers should exercise caution. Because temperatures can change with depth and season, visitors should check current rules posted by local authorities, be aware of cold-water shock and underwater hazards, and choose sheltered, clearly permitted spots if they plan to swim.
