Playa de Troya: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today offers a decent, though slightly mixed, beach experience at Playa de Troya. While you will enjoy plenty of bright intervals, expect a fair amount of clouds drifting through the sky throughout the day. With a maximum air temperature of 21.7 °C, it is pleasant for lounging, but keep in mind that the UV Index is 8.3, so strong sun protection is essential to avoid burning. The breeze is noticeable and occasionally lively, which creates some chop on the water. Given the sea temperature of 20.1 °C, the water remains quite refreshing and is best suited for a quick dip rather than long swims. With waves running at 1.1 m, it is a better day for relaxing on the sand than for calm water activities.
