Back Beach: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, April 29, 2026
Today is a better day for a coastal walk than a traditional beach outing at Back Beach. With a maximum air temperature of 17.4 °C, it feels quite crisp, and the water remains far too chilly for swimming at 16.3 °C. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, though the breeze will be noticeable and occasionally quite snappy, which may make lounging on the sand feel less comfortable. The waves are moderate, adding some movement to the shoreline, but overall, the conditions are not ideal for sunbathing or getting into the water. If you do head out, dress in layers to stay warm against the wind and enjoy the rugged scenery rather than planning for a classic day by the surf.
