Pouda Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is an average day at the beach, best suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than a relaxing sunbathing session. With a maximum air temperature of 17 °C and a sea temperature of 17.4 °C, the water is far too cold for swimming. You will experience quite a bit of movement in the air today, as strong winds are present and could make lounging on the sand feel quite restless. While the sky will feature a mix of clouds and brightness, the sun remains strong with a UV Index of 7.4, so remember to protect your skin if you head out. The waves are relatively calm, but given the chilly conditions and brisk winds, it is a better day to enjoy the coastal views than to spend time in the water.
