Mar Del Plata: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, July 30, 2026

Summary
Full Forecast

Today is certainly not an ideal day for a visit to the beach. You will find cold air temperatures peaking at 11.4 °C, accompanied by persistent light drizzle that makes for a damp and chilly atmosphere. The skies are quite grey, and the strong winds, coupled with somewhat choppy waves, will make staying on the sand uncomfortable. Since the sea temperature is only 10.4 °C, the water is far too cold for swimming. Given the combination of low temperatures, wet conditions, and blustery winds, it is best to skip the beach today and plan your outing for a warmer, calmer day.
