Praia da Raposa: Weather Today

📅 Monday, June 8, 2026
Today offers a decent day for a coastal visit, though it is better suited for lounging on the sand than taking a dip in the water. While the sun will shine brightly throughout the day, the ocean remains quite chilly at 16.5 °C, making it too cold for comfortable swimming. Expect breezy conditions that will keep things feeling fresh, with waves reaching a moderate height that might make the shoreline a bit active. With a maximum air temperature of 24.6 °C and a strong UV Index of 8.2, you should definitely pack plenty of sun protection to stay safe while relaxing by the water. It is a pleasant day to enjoy the scenery and catch some rays, provided you come prepared for the brisk wind and keep your swimming to a minimum.
