Cala Mesquida: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Today is a mixed bag for a beach visit, leaning towards a day better suited for lounging than swimming. With a maximum air temperature of 22.8 °C, the air feels pleasant, but the sea temperature is quite chilly at 18.8 °C, making it too cold for a comfortable swim. Expect some cloud development throughout the day, and be mindful that the wind is notably strong, which may make your setup on the sand feel a bit restless. Since the UV index reaches 7.7, ensure you have plenty of sun protection even when clouds are present. While the waves remain calm, the combination of brisk water and blustery winds suggests you might be better off enjoying a scenic walk or relaxing with a book rather than spending time in the water.
