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
The Río Parga in Galicia typically presents cool, variable temperatures that reflect its temperate, often rainy climate and upland sources. In winter the water usually ranges from about 6–10 °C (42.8–50 °F), spring warms to roughly 8–14 °C (46.4–57.2 °F), summer can bring the warmest conditions around 14–20 °C (57.2–68 °F), and autumn commonly sits between 10–16 °C (50–60.8 °F). These figures can fluctuate locally depending on altitude, recent rainfall, and the presence of shaded pools or faster-flowing rapids; shallow, sun-exposed stretches warm more in summer, while shaded gorges remain markedly colder.
Swimming in the Río Parga is possible in many of the calmer, accessible natural pools during the warmer months, but it is not uniformly regulated or supervised. Local rules or conservation designations may prohibit bathing in some sections, and safety considerations — cold water even in summer, strong currents after rain, submerged rocks and absence of lifeguards — mean swimmers should exercise caution. Before entering the water it is advisable to check local signage and conditions; where permitted and approached sensibly, the river offers pleasant opportunities for wild swimming, especially in high summer when temperatures are at their peak.
