Altona Beach: Weather Today

📅 Monday, April 20, 2026
Today is an underwhelming day for a beach visit, as thick fog blankets the area and keeps things feeling quite gloomy. While the air temperature reaches 22.4 °C, the lack of sunshine and persistent mist make it feel much cooler than expected. The sea is quite calm, but with a temperature of 16.9 °C, it is far too cold for comfortable swimming. Light breezes are present, though they do little to clear the air. Given the limited visibility and the chill in the water, this is better suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than a traditional day of sunbathing or water activities. Please dress warmly if you plan to head out, as the conditions remain damp and grey throughout the day.
