📅 Tuesday, September 29, 2026
Today at Karras Beach offers an average experience where the water is pleasant but the conditions on the sand are quite restless. While you can certainly enjoy a refreshing dip with the water at 24.1 °C, the air temperature reaching 22.1 °C feels a bit brisk once you step out of the sea. Be prepared for strong winds that may whip up sand, making it less than ideal for lounging. Waves are rolling in with significant height, so please exercise caution if you plan to enter the water. With a UV Index of 6.05, you will need to keep your sun protection handy throughout the day. It is a better day for those who enjoy the energy of the coast rather than a relaxing, quiet afternoon by the shore.
