📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a mediocre day for a visit to Psarou Beach, as unsettled conditions make for a rather unpredictable outing. You can expect a maximum air temperature of 19.8 °C, which feels quite fresh, and with the sea temperature sitting at 18.0 °C, the water is definitely too chilly for comfortable swimming. While there will be some sunny intervals, keep an eye out for brief, passing showers that could dampen your plans. The breeze will be noticeable at times, creating some movement on the water surface. If you do head out, remember that the UV Index is 7.3, so protection is essential even if the sky looks partly cloudy. Overall, it is better suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than a full day of lounging.
