Praia de Covões: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, May 7, 2026
Today is an average day at the beach, best suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than a full day of sunbathing. With a maximum air temperature of 18 °C, it remains quite cool, and the sea temperature of 15.7 °C is far too cold for comfortable swimming. You will find the sky mostly filled with clouds, though the UV index of 7.3 means you should still wear protection if you are outside for long. Winds are somewhat lively, creating moderate waves that make the water look quite active. While it is dry, the combination of chilly air, brisk breezes, and cold water suggests that a warm jacket will be essential for your visit to the coast today.
