Javo Beach La Playita: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a poor day for a beach visit, as unstable conditions and active thunderstorms are expected throughout the area. It is strongly advised to stay away from the shoreline until the weather improves, as heavy downpours will make outdoor time unpleasant and potentially hazardous. While the air temperature will reach 28.5 °C and the water temperature sits at 27.9 °C, the rough state of the sea and the high risk of lightning make swimming unsafe. You should also be aware that the UV Index is 8.4, which means intense sun exposure remains a risk even through the heavy clouds. Please prioritize your safety and plan your beach outing for a much calmer day.
