Chelsea Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, May 16, 2026
Today is a rather mediocre day for a trip to Chelsea Beach, as the conditions are better suited for a brisk walk along the shoreline than for relaxing on the sand. The sky will remain mostly filled with clouds, providing very little warmth from the sun. You can expect a moderate breeze throughout the day, which will make the air feel quite crisp. With a maximum air temperature of 19.7 °C and a sea temperature of 15.2 °C, the water is definitely too cold for swimming. While the waves are small and calm, the overall atmosphere is cool and somewhat gloomy, so you might want to save your beach day for when the sun decides to make a more consistent appearance.
