Lee Bay Beaches: Weather Today

📅 Monday, June 8, 2026
Today is definitely not a day for the beach, so it is best to make alternative plans indoors. Persistent rain will be falling throughout the day, making conditions quite wet and unpleasant for any outdoor activities by the shore. The wind will be blowing strongly, creating choppy waters with significant waves that make entering the water dangerous. With the air temperature reaching a cool 14.1 °C and the sea temperature sitting at 14.5 °C, it is far too cold for swimming. Given the combination of steady rain and blustery winds, the coastline will feel very raw and uninviting. Please prioritize your comfort and safety by staying away from the beach until conditions improve significantly.
