The weather at Pešja Beach is currently dangerous due to severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and potential hail. With the sky heavily clouded and unstable conditions prevailing, there is no opportunity for sunbathing or relaxing by the water. Strong, shifting winds are creating choppy conditions along the shoreline, making the area very unpleasant and unsafe for any outdoor activity. While the water temperature is 21.3 °C, the incoming storms and intense weather mean you should stay away from the coast entirely today. Please prioritize your safety and avoid the beach until the storm system has completely passed.
