Limanaki Beach: Weather Today

📅 Sunday, May 3, 2026
Today is not a suitable day for a visit to Limanaki Beach, as conditions are quite challenging for any outdoor activities. You will encounter very strong winds that make staying on the sand uncomfortable and potentially hazardous. While there is plenty of sun, the combination of high winds and choppy water makes it a poor choice for sunbathing or relaxing by the shore. The water remains quite cool, so it is not recommended for swimming. With a maximum air temperature of 14.5 °C and a sea temperature of 18.1 °C, the environment is far from ideal for a typical beach day. Please be advised that the UV Index is 7.65, so if you do venture out, ensure you have adequate sun protection despite the cool air.
