Praia da Raposa: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a mediocre day for a visit to Praia da Raposa, as the conditions are better suited for a walk along the shore than for traditional beach activities. With a maximum air temperature of 19.7 °C, it will feel quite fresh, and the sea temperature of 16.5 °C is far too cold for swimming. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, so keep in mind that the UV index is 7.3, which requires sun protection. Be prepared for breezy conditions, as the wind is strong enough to make the sand blow, and the sea is quite choppy with noticeable waves. It is not an ideal day for lounging on the sand, but it remains a pleasant spot for a brisk coastal stroll.
