Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 75°F (23°C) to 79°F (26°C). This is a very comfortable temperature for swimming, and many people can enjoy prolonged stays in the water without feeling cold. The water is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for relaxation and water sports. This temperature range is particularly popular among tourists, as it combines comfort and safety for health. 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.

The Río Segura, which crosses parts of the Valencian Community, shows marked seasonal variation in water temperature influenced by flow, depth and local climate. In winter surface temperatures commonly sit between about 8 and 14 °C (46–57 °F), while spring typically warms to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F). Summer temperatures in shallow, slow-moving stretches and reservoirs can reach 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), and during heat waves some isolated pools may climb toward 28 °C (82 °F). Autumn usually sees a gradual cooling with temperatures near 15–22 °C (59–72 °F). These figures are approximate and vary significantly between upstream mountainous reaches, deeper reservoirs, and urban lowland sections where water can warm faster or remain cooler depending on release schedules from dams.
Swimming opportunities on the Segura depend on location and local rules rather than a single blanket policy. Designated bathing areas and some reservoirs or natural pools are commonly used for swimming when water quality checks are favorable, but many urban stretches are discouraged or formally restricted because of contamination risks from agricultural runoff, treated effluents and low flows, as well as hazards like currents, submerged debris and fluctuating depths. Visitors should follow posted signs and recent water-quality information from local authorities before entering the river.
