Mar Del Plata: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, September 26, 2026
Today is not a suitable day for traditional beach activities in Mar Del Plata, as the cool temperatures make it better suited for a walk along the shore rather than lounging on the sand. You can expect plenty of sunshine breaking through the light cloud cover, but the air remains quite chilly with a maximum temperature of 12.6 °C. The breeze is noticeable and occasionally brisk, while the sea is far too cold for swimming at 11.1 °C. If you do head out, be mindful that the sun is strong, reaching a UV index of 6.45, so skin protection is necessary even in the cooler air. The water is quite choppy with moderate waves, so stay safely back from the water's edge.
