Praia das Barreiras: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, June 9, 2026
This is a challenging day for a beach visit at Praia das Barreiras, as the conditions are better suited for a walk along the shore than for swimming or relaxing. While the sun will make appearances throughout the day, the air temperature only reaching 20.8 °C and the chilly sea temperature of 14.4 °C mean the water is not suitable for swimming. You should also be prepared for significant wind, which will make the beach feel much cooler than the air temperature suggests. With wave heights running quite high, it is best to keep a safe distance from the water. Don’t forget to wear sun protection, as the UV Index is 7.85.
