Mar Del Plata: Weather Today

📅 Friday, May 15, 2026
This is not an ideal day for a trip to the beach, so you might want to skip your visit. The weather is quite cool with a maximum air temperature of 15.7 °C, and light drizzle is expected throughout the day, making conditions rather damp. The wind is noticeable, which will make it feel even cooler while you are near the shore. With the sea temperature sitting at 14.8 °C and choppy waves reaching 1.5 m, the water is far too cold and rough for swimming. The sky will remain partially cloudy, but the overall atmosphere is chilly and gray. It is best to stay indoors and plan your beach outing for a warmer, calmer day.
