Why “fría” not “frío”?

No_tengo ganas de______ bañarme en el mar ahora. El agua está fría. 

I’m confused, agua is masculine but the adjective is feminine (fría). 

Thank you,

Shirley.

Actually "agua" is feminine, despite the "el". 

See: Spanish feminine nouns starting with a stressed "a" sometimes use masculine articles and quantifiers
