Playa del Prat: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 18, 2026
Today is a fair day for a stroll along the shore, though it is not ideal for those hoping to spend the afternoon lounging in the sand or swimming. With a maximum air temperature of 19.7 °C and a sea temperature of 16.4 °C, the water remains far too chilly for a comfortable dip. You will encounter quite a bit of cloud cover throughout the day, and while the breeze is generally gentle, there may be occasional stronger pulses of air moving across the beach. Please be mindful of the sun, as the UV index reaches 6.9, making protection necessary even through the clouds. Overall, it is a pleasant day for a walk by the water, but you should keep your layers handy and skip the swimsuit.
