S'Archittu Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a fair day for a stroll along the shore, but it is not ideal for a full beach day. While the sun will be bright and plentiful throughout the day, the air remains quite crisp with a maximum temperature of 18.4 °C. You will notice a steady breeze that can pick up at times, making it feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. Given the sea temperature of 16.0 °C, the water is far too cold for swimming. Since the UV index is 7.25, please remember to wear adequate sun protection if you are spending time outdoors. It is a lovely day for a walk by the water to enjoy the scenery, but keep your layers handy and skip the swimsuit.
