*** 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 Lérez, which flows through Pontevedra to the Ría de Pontevedra, shows typical Atlantic-influenced temperatures that vary with season and location along the course. In winter the river commonly sits around 8–12 °C (46–54 °F), in spring roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F), in summer often 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) and in autumn about 14–18 °C (57–64 °F). Shallow, sheltered stretches and the tidal lower reaches can warm above these averages on hot days, sometimes reaching the mid-20s °C (mid-70s °F), while reservoirs and shaded upstream reaches remain noticeably cooler.
Swimming in the Río Lérez is possible in many spots, particularly in the lower, calmer and more accessible sections near Pontevedra and in favored summer areas, but it is not uniformly allowed everywhere. Local rules, water quality readings, strong currents, weirs, boat traffic and conservation zones determine where bathing is permitted and safe, so municipal signage and advisories should be checked. Cold winter temperatures and variable currents can present hypothermia or safety risks, while summer temperatures are generally comfortable for recreational swimming where local authorities deem it acceptable.
