Kemptown Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Today is not a suitable day for a visit to Kemptown Beach. The weather is quite unsettled, with persistent light rain showers and a thick layer of clouds blocking the sun. You should expect strong, blustery winds that will make relaxing on the sand very uncomfortable. The sea is quite choppy with noticeable waves, and with the water temperature sitting at 12.2 °C, it is far too cold for swimming. With a maximum air temperature of 16.4 °C, it will feel chilly rather than warm. Given the combined effect of the wind and the damp conditions, it is best to skip the beach today and plan your trip for a time when the weather is calmer and the skies are clearer.
