Skoutari Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today offers a very average day for a visit to Skoutari Beach, best suited for a relaxing stroll rather than a full day of swimming. While the sun will make appearances through the clouds, the air temperature reaches a modest 19 °C, which feels quite crisp. Please be mindful that the UV Index is 7.45, so protection is essential even when it feels cooler. The sea temperature is sitting at 17.7 °C, which is far too chilly for comfortable swimming. You will notice a noticeable breeze blowing across the shore, and while the water remains calm, the overall atmosphere is better for enjoying the scenery and fresh air than for lounging in a swimsuit. Keep a light jacket handy if you plan to stay into the afternoon.
