Altona Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, April 7, 2026
Today is a mediocre day for a visit to Altona Beach, as conditions remain quite unsettled. You will find the sky mostly filled with clouds, which will block out much of the warmth from the sun. With a maximum air temperature of 20.4 °C, it will feel rather cool, especially since a brisk breeze is blowing across the sand. The sea temperature is sitting at 18.9 °C, which is far too cold for comfortable swimming. Additionally, the water is a bit choppy today, making it better suited for a walk along the shoreline than for any water-based activities. If you still decide to head down, make sure to bring a windbreaker or a warm layer to stay comfortable against the persistent wind.
