Praia do Pico da Antena: Weather Today

📅 Sunday, September 6, 2026
Today offers a rather disappointing and unsuitable day for beach activities at Praia do Pico da Antena. The coastline is currently blanketed by persistent fog, which obscures the sky and keeps things feeling quite gloomy. While you might hope for some sun, the heavy cloud cover is limiting brightness, though you should still remain cautious as the UV index is 6.9. The air temperature will peak at 22.5 °C, but it will feel quite brisk due to the strong, blustery winds whipping across the sand. The water is far too cold for swimming, as the sea temperature sits at only 18.3 °C, and the rough waves create choppy conditions along the shore. It is best to skip your trip to the beach today and plan for another time when the fog lifts and the sea settles.
