*** 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.

The Río Guadiana Menor in Andalusia is a small Mediterranean river whose water temperature follows predictable seasonal patterns. In winter the river commonly ranges from about 8–14 °C (46–57 °F), cooling with higher flow and night-time lows. Spring brings a steady rise to roughly 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) as daylight and air temperatures increase. Summer temperatures often peak between 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), and in sheltered pools on hot days can reach nearer 28 °C (82 °F). During autumn the water cools again to around 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) as rainfall and lower air temperatures resume. Local conditions such as recent rain, shade, groundwater inflows, and reservoir releases can cause significant short-term variation from these typical ranges.
Swimming in the Río Guadiana Menor (Río Guadiana Menor) is commonly practiced in accessible stretches, especially in summer when temperatures are pleasant, but it is not uniformly regulated as official bathing sites. Whether swimming is allowed depends on land ownership, local ordinances, and water quality; some stretches are privately fenced or lie within protected habitats where access is restricted. Safety concerns—strong or unpredictable currents after rains, submerged obstacles, and occasional poor water quality following runoff—mean that swimmers should heed signage, local advice, and visible conditions before entering. Where conditions and permissions are appropriate, the river can offer refreshing freshwater bathing in summer months.
