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
Urrunagako urtegia, a reservoir in the Basque Country, has water temperatures that reflect the region’s temperate Atlantic climate. In winter the surface typically cools to roughly 6–10 °C (43–50 °F), while spring sees a gradual rise to about 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). Peak summer temperatures at the surface can reach roughly 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) on warm days, though deeper water remains noticeably colder. In autumn the reservoir cools again into the 12–16 °C (54–61 °F) range as air temperatures drop. Local conditions, recent weather and depth make short-term variation possible, and thermoclines can create colder layers even in summer.
Swimming at Urrunagako urtegia is not treated the same as at managed beaches: many reservoirs in the Basque Country are subject to restrictions or prohibitions for bathing because they serve as water supply sources and because of safety concerns. Authorities may restrict access to protect drinking-water quality, to avoid risks from sudden level changes, submerged hazards and cold-water shock, or during algal blooms. For those reasons, swimmers should not assume free access and should consult on-site signage or municipal rules; in some nearby reservoirs there are designated, supervised areas where bathing is permitted under local regulation.
