Playa El Combate: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, July 14, 2026
Today at Playa El Combate is a mixed bag, making it a challenging day for those hoping for a classic sunbathing session. While it is quite warm with a maximum air temperature of 33 °C, the sky remains largely grey and blocked by thick clouds. You might encounter some light, lingering drizzle throughout the day, though it should not be heavy. The water is very inviting at 29.4 °C, but with waves reaching 1.2 m and a breeze that can pick up suddenly, caution is advised near the shoreline. Since the UV index reaches 9, you must wear sun protection even through the cloud cover. It is a day better suited for short dips in the water rather than a long stay on the sand.
