Playa Tangolunda: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today is unfortunately not a great day for a relaxing trip to the beach. You can expect persistent light rain throughout the day, which will likely keep most people away from the sand. Along with the damp conditions, the winds are quite strong and blustery, creating rough waves that make swimming hazardous and unsafe. While the air temperature remains warm at 30.9 °C and the water temperature is a very pleasant 31.4 °C, the combination of rain and choppy sea conditions really ruins the typical beach experience. If you do head out, remember that the sun remains intense with a UV Index of 9, so protection is essential even through the clouds.
