*** 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 San Andrés de los Tacones Reservoir (Embalse San Andrés de los Tacones) near Gijón in Asturias typically shows cool to moderately warm temperatures through the year. In winter the surface water commonly sits around 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 8–16 °C (46–61 °F), summer can warm the reservoir to approximately 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) on average, and autumn sees a decline back toward 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). Local conditions such as recent rainfall, water releases, depth and shading influence these figures, so actual readings can vary day to day and with depth, where colder layers persist even in summer.
Swimming in the reservoir is generally restricted or discouraged. The embalse serves multiple uses including water supply and environmental management, and authorities typically limit bathing for health, safety and operational reasons: steep banks, variable depths, lack of lifeguards, and the potential for water-quality advisories (for example during algal episodes or maintenance) make it unsuitable for regular recreational swimming. Visitors often enjoy the surrounding trails and viewpoints instead, and anyone considering entering the water should check current local regulations and quality reports before doing so.
