Praia da Fonte do Cortiço: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, May 2, 2026
Today is a fair day to head to the coast, though it may not be ideal for those looking to spend the entire afternoon lounging on the sand. With a maximum air temperature of 19 °C and significant cloud cover, it will feel quite mild rather than hot. While the sun will break through at times, the UV index is 7.45, so remember to protect your skin. The sea temperature is 17.3 °C, which is too cold for a comfortable swim, and with waves reaching 1.3 m, the water will be quite active. Expect a noticeable breeze throughout the day that may keep things feeling cool. It is a better day for a scenic walk along the shore than for a full day of swimming.
