Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 60°F (15°C) to 65°F (18°C). The water is comfortable for most people, making it an ideal range for water sports enthusiasts. The temperature does not cause significant discomfort, and swimming will be pleasant for the majority. However, it's important to remember that prolonged exposure to the water can still lead to cooling, so it's essential to monitor the time spent in the water, especially for children or elderly people. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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

Length 140.8 km (87.5 mi)
The Río Nalón, a principal river in Asturias, Spain, varies notably in temperature along its course because it flows from mountainous headwaters to a coastal estuary. Seasonal water temperatures typically range from about 4–10 °C (39–50 °F) in winter, 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) in spring, 14–22 °C (57–72 °F) in summer, and 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) in autumn. Upper, fast-flowing segments and shaded valleys remain colder year-round, while lower stretches and the estuary near the coast warm more in summer and can reach the higher end of those ranges. Local weather, recent rainfall, and depth all influence the exact temperature at any given spot.
Swimming in the Río Nalón is permitted in many accessible sections, especially in calmer lower reaches and some popular local spots, but it is not universally safe or allowed. Restrictions may apply near dams, reservoirs, industrial sites, or strong currents, and there are hazards such as submerged rocks, variable currents and the risk of cold-water shock where temperatures stay low. Visitors should follow local signage and regulations, choose designated or well-known swimming areas, and be mindful of seasonal temperature changes that affect comfort and safety.
