Little Diggers Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
This is a challenging day for a beach visit, and it is best to stay away from the shore today. The weather is quite unsettled with frequent light rain showers and persistent cloud cover blocking the sun. Strong winds are whipping across the sand, creating dangerous conditions, and the ocean is very rough with high, choppy waves that are not suitable for any water activities. While the air temperature is a cool 18.5 °C and the water temperature is 23.2 °C, the combination of incoming rain and powerful winds makes for an unpleasant and unsafe environment. Please prioritize your safety and plan your beach outing for a much calmer day when the wind subsides and the skies clear up.
