📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is unfortunately not a great day for a beach trip to Playa de Caletón Chiquito. You should definitely plan for a different day, as heavy downpours are expected throughout the area, making it quite unpleasant for staying on the sand. The sky will remain mostly blocked by thick clouds, and with rough waves rolling in, the water conditions are far from ideal for a relaxing swim. While the air temperature will reach 26 °C and the water is warm at 27.2 °C, the risk of getting caught in sudden rain showers is very high. Additionally, if the clouds break, the sun will be quite intense with a UV Index of 8.85, so please stay safe and avoid heading to the coast until the weather clears up.
