Sizewell Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is not a suitable day for a traditional beach outing, as the cool temperatures make it better suited for a brisk walk along the shoreline rather than lounging on the sand. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, but the air remains quite chilly with a maximum temperature of 12.1 °C. A steady breeze will be blowing across the coast, which may feel quite sharp at times. The water is far too cold for swimming at 10.6 °C, and the sea conditions show small, choppy waves. Please dress warmly if you head out to the coast, as the conditions are definitely more refreshing than relaxing.
