Praia da Corna: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, April 1, 2026
Today is a mediocre day for a beach visit, best suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than lounging on the sand. While the air temperature will reach 23.2 °C, the sea remains far too chilly for swimming at 13.6 °C. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, but be aware that the UV Index is 6.2, so remember your sun protection if you are out for long. A steady breeze will be blowing, and with wave heights reaching 1.4 m, the water will be quite active and choppy. It is not an ideal day for a dip in the ocean, but the dry weather makes it a pleasant enough time to enjoy the coastal scenery and fresh air.
