Frequently asked questions
How warm is the sea at Embalse Conde de Guadalhorce Ardales right now?
That reading (~23°C) is a stand-in value rather than a live measurement — Embalse Conde de Guadalhorce Ardales's marine feed was temporarily unreachable, and it'll refresh automatically once the feed returns. That's the reading right off Málaga.
What's the best month to visit Embalse Conde de Guadalhorce Ardales for swimming?
Aim for June–October — the modeled water temperature typically clears 22°C in that window, the rule of thumb for comfortably warm swimming, with August usually the peak. That applies to the water around Málaga.
Is the sea temperature chart above measured or estimated?
Not currently for Embalse Conde de Guadalhorce Ardales — the chart above is a modeled estimate based on latitude and season rather than a measured average. A few countries (Croatia, via IZOR) do publish the sea temperature taken at each official water sample, and that's plotted alongside the modeled curve when it exists.
