Chelsea Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, May 19, 2026
Today is certainly not the day for a beach visit to Chelsea Beach. With persistent light rain and drizzle throughout the day, the conditions are quite damp and uncomfortable for any outdoor activities. The air temperature is a chilly 15.1 °C, and the water is far too cold at 15.2 °C, making it completely unsuitable for swimming. Strong winds are sweeping across the sand, and the waves are quite active, which will make relaxing by the shore very unpleasant. Given the combination of gray skies, wet weather, and brisk winds, it is best to skip the beach today and stay indoors where it is warm and dry. Please keep your plans flexible and save your beach outing for a much brighter and calmer day.
