Margate Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, October 13, 2026
Today is unfortunately not a great day for a trip to Margate Beach. You can expect persistent light drizzle throughout the day, which will likely keep things damp and chilly. With a maximum air temperature of 20 °C and strong winds blowing across the sand, it will feel quite brisk and uncomfortable for relaxing by the water. The sea is far too cold for swimming at 16.8 °C, and the choppy waves make conditions unsuitable for any water activities. Given the combination of rain and gusty winds, it is best to skip the beach today and choose indoor plans instead. The sky will remain fairly grey, so do not expect much sunshine to brighten up the coastline.
