Covehithe Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is not a suitable day for a traditional beach trip, as conditions are far too chilly for sunbathing or swimming. With the maximum air temperature reaching only 10.2 °C and the sea temperature sitting at a very cold 10.5 °C, you will definitely need to wrap up in warm layers if you decide to visit the coast for a stroll. The sky will feature a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, and while it remains dry, a brisk breeze will make the air feel even sharper. The sea is relatively calm, but given the low temperatures, staying out of the water is essential. It is a day better suited for a brisk walk along the shoreline rather than relaxing on the sand.
