Loutro Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a mixed day at the beach that is better suited for a relaxing stroll than a full day of swimming. While the sky will feature some passing clouds, you can still expect plenty of bright intervals. The air temperature will reach 19.7 °C, which feels quite fresh, and with the sea temperature sitting at 17.8 °C, the water is too cold for comfortable swimming. You should take care as the UV index is 7.35, meaning strong sun protection is essential even with cloud cover. A light breeze is present, creating gentle movement on the water surface, though it may feel a bit brisk if you are sitting still for long periods. It is a lovely day to enjoy the coastal scenery, but keep your layers handy.
