Playa de Poniente: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
This is not a great day for a trip to the beach, as conditions are quite unsettled and better suited for staying indoors. You can expect frequent light rain showers throughout the day, accompanied by a thick layer of clouds that will block out any direct sunshine. The air temperature will reach a maximum of 17.6 °C, and with the sea temperature sitting at 16.6 °C, the water is definitely too cold for swimming. A light breeze is present, occasionally picking up in intensity, which will make the sand feel quite chilly. Given the combination of damp weather and cool water, it is best to postpone your beach plans until the skies clear and temperatures rise.
