Public Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
It is an unsettled day at the beach, making for a somewhat challenging experience for those hoping to lounge by the water. While the air temperature will reach 26.8 °C and the water is a warm 28.3 °C, occasional light showers are likely to pass through throughout the day, so it is best to keep an eye on the sky. The breeze is quite lively, creating a bit of chop on the water, which might make swimming less relaxing than usual. The sun will occasionally break through the clouds, but with a UV Index of 7.55, you should still prioritize strong sun protection whenever you are out in the open. Overall, it is a day best suited for short visits rather than a full day of sunbathing.
