Summary
Full Forecast

Today is certainly not the ideal day for a trip to Little Cove Beach, and you would be much better off planning your seaside visit for another time. The conditions are quite unsettled, with frequent light rain expected throughout the day, creating a rather damp and gloomy atmosphere. The wind is blowing quite strongly, which will make sitting on the sand uncomfortable, and the water is rather choppy with noticeable waves rolling in. With a maximum air temperature of 20.6 °C and the water sitting at 21.7 °C, it is far too chilly and rough for any enjoyable swimming. Overall, the combination of wet weather and blustery winds makes this a poor day for any outdoor beach activities.
