Portsea Surf Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, making it best suited for a brisk walk along the sand rather than a relaxing afternoon by the water. While the air temperature will reach 21.7 °C, the conditions are quite unsettled due to the persistent and strong winds that will keep the coastline feeling much cooler than the thermometer suggests. The water is currently 17.0 °C, which is far too cold for swimming. Additionally, the waves are quite rough and choppy, further discouraging any time spent in the surf. With clouds drifting through and fairly active winds, you will likely find it more comfortable to enjoy the coastal views from a sheltered spot rather than directly on the open beach.
