Port Isaac: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026

Summary
Full Forecast

Today is a better day for a brisk coastal walk than a traditional beach outing. While the skies will feature a mix of sun and clouds, the air remains quite cool at 16.2 °C, making it far too chilly for sunbathing or relaxing on the sand. You should be prepared for breezy conditions, as the wind will be quite noticeable throughout the day. The sea is extremely cold at 11.9 °C and is definitely not suitable for swimming. With waves present, the water will look active, but it is best to enjoy the scenery from the safety of the shore rather than heading into the water. Wrap up in warm layers if you plan to visit, as the combination of the wind and low water temperatures makes for a classic, bracing day by the sea.
