Forrest Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, August 28, 2026
It is a challenging day for a beach visit, so keep your expectations modest. While the skies will remain clear and sunny, the air temperature is a cool 18 °C, which is quite brisk for lounging on the sand. The breeze is active and notably strong, making it feel even cooler along the shore. Although the water is calm enough for a stroll, the sea temperature is only 16.4 °C, meaning it is far too cold for swimming today. If you do head out, stick to a walk along the water's edge rather than planning for a day in the sun. Given the brisk conditions, be sure to bring a windbreaker or a warm layer to stay comfortable while enjoying the coastal views.
