Is the water clean at Embalse Portodemouros Agolada?
Embalse Portodemouros Agolada is a lake bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Not classified for the 2025 season — not enough samples in this year to assign an official rating. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Trash bins.
Embalse Portodemouros Agolada does not yet have enough classified seasons to describe a long-run trend. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. The nearest town, Vila de Cruces, is about ~6.1 km away.
That “Not classified” label comes from a full season of official water sampling, not a single test — it's one step on a four-point scale (Excellent, Good, Sufficient, Poor) reassessed once a year. Today's actual conditions can differ from the seasonal average, so for a live snapshot see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above.
