Votsalakia Beach: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, July 29, 2026
Today is a challenging day at Votsalakia Beach that requires caution. While the clear skies and intense sun create a bright atmosphere, the extremely strong winds make lounging on the sand quite difficult and potentially unpleasant due to blowing grit. With air temperatures reaching 33.6 °C and a UV index of 7.85, sun protection is absolutely essential to avoid burns. The sea temperature is 22.7 °C, which is pleasant for swimming, but please be aware that the waves are quite choppy and significant, which may not be ideal for casual swimmers or children. Because of the powerful wind activity, we advise you to be extra careful and consider if the current conditions suit your comfort level before heading out for a long stay.
