Dog Friendly Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, May 2, 2026
This is a challenging day for a beach visit, making it better suited for a brisk walk with your dog rather than a relaxing day by the shore. The air temperature will reach 22.6 °C, but with significant cloud cover throughout the day, it will feel quite cool and lacking in warmth. You should be prepared for blustery conditions as the wind is strong and erratic, which will likely create choppy waves around 1.1 m high. The water is quite cold at 17.0 °C, so it is definitely not suitable for swimming. While there is no rain expected, the combination of strong winds and the lack of sunshine makes for a rather grey and restless atmosphere at the beach today.
