Praia Redonda: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, August 6, 2026
Today at Praia Redonda offers a rather mixed experience that is best suited for a relaxing stroll along the sand rather than a full day of swimming. While the air temperature will reach 23.3 °C and the sun will be quite strong with a UV Index of 7.4, the morning starts with dense fog that masks the horizon. Although the skies should clear later, the sea remains quite chilly at 18.8 °C, making it too cold for comfortable swimming. You will notice a brisk breeze picking up throughout the afternoon, which will create some lively waves reaching over a meter in height. If you head to the coast, focus on enjoying the fresh air and the scenery rather than planning for a dip in the water.
