Playa de Aguasantas: Weather Today

📅 Sunday, September 13, 2026
Today at Playa de Aguasantas is better suited for a walk along the shore than a full day of sunbathing. The morning begins with thick, persistent fog that keeps the skies obscured and limits warmth, making the beach feel quite cool. With the air temperature reaching 24.4 °C and the water sitting at 18.5 °C, the sea remains far too chilly for comfortable swimming. You will notice moderate, choppy waves rolling in throughout the day, and while the winds are generally gentle, occasional stronger movements may be felt. The UV Index is 6, so even through the mist, it is wise to protect your skin. It is an atmospheric day, ideal for relaxing near the dunes, but keep a jacket handy as the conditions stay damp and grey.
