Azenha do Mar Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026

Summary
Full Forecast

Today is a mediocre day for a beach trip, best suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than lounging or swimming. The air temperature will reach a maximum of 20.3 °C, but with significant cloud cover and rather breezy conditions, it will feel quite fresh. The sea is currently too cold for swimming at 16.6 °C, and with wave heights reaching 1.8 m, the water is better left to the surfers. Please be mindful that the UV Index is high at 7.35, so you will need sun protection even if it feels cool. While there is no rain expected, the strong winds might make relaxing on the sand a bit uncomfortable. Keep your plans flexible and enjoy the rugged coastal scenery instead of expecting a classic sunbathing session.
