Mar Del Plata: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, May 21, 2026
Today is certainly not an ideal day for a trip to the beach, as conditions are quite chilly and unsettled. With the air temperature reaching a maximum of 10.7 °C, it is far too cold for sunbathing or relaxing on the sand. The sky remains heavily blanketed in clouds, keeping the atmosphere gloomy throughout the day. You will also notice a persistent breeze that occasionally picks up quite strongly, making it feel even colder by the water. The sea is very rough with significant waves and a water temperature of 13.8 °C, which is far too cold and dangerous for swimming. Please keep your distance from the shoreline today, as it is definitely a day to stay indoors rather than head to the coast.
