Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 65°F (18°C) to 68°F (20°C). This is already quite warm water, which is ideal for most people. Swimming becomes comfortable, and prolonged stays in the water do not cause discomfort. This temperature is perfect for family trips and for those who prefer warmer water. It is also comfortable for water sports such as surfing or swimming. 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 Turia (Río Turia) in Valencia is more known today for its wide dry riverbed turned urban park than as a continuous swimming river through the city. Water temperatures vary widely depending on location, depth, season and whether you refer to the small remaining flows through the city, the upstream mountain stretches, or the reservoirs in the basin. Typical seasonal surface ranges for the more natural stretches are roughly winter 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), spring 10–18 °C (50–64 °F), summer 18–25 °C (64–77 °F) and autumn 14–20 °C (57–68 °F), while shallow pools and sheltered reservoirs can warm a few degrees higher in hot summers.
Swimming within the central Turia park itself is generally not an option: the old riverbed is now a recreational greenway and there is little continuous, accessible flowing water, and local regulations or safety considerations often prohibit bathing. Recreational swimming is possible in upstream river gorges, natural pools and some designated freshwater spots, but access and legality depend on local rules and water-management protections (reservoirs that serve as drinking-water sources often forbid bathing). Always check signage and municipal regulations before entering the water for safety and legal reasons.
