Chinaman's Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today is a clear but chilly day that is better suited for a brisk walk along the shore than a traditional swim. With clear skies and plenty of sunshine, you will enjoy a bright atmosphere, but the air temperature only reaching 15.5 °C feels quite cool for spending hours on the sand. The sea temperature is currently 18.6 °C, which is far too cold for comfortable swimming. You should also be aware that the waves are quite active today, making the water conditions rather rough. A steady breeze will be felt throughout the day, so bring a warm jacket if you plan to visit the coast to enjoy the coastal views without the expectation of sunbathing or getting into the water.
