Playa Lisa: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, April 23, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, as thick fog and strong, blustery winds create quite uncomfortable conditions at Playa Lisa. With a maximum air temperature of 23 °C, it might feel warm, but the combination of misty air and persistent, powerful winds makes relaxing on the sand difficult. The sea is definitely not suitable for swimming today, as the water temperature is a chilly 18.4 °C and the waves are quite rough. While the sun may break through the clouds at times, it remains strong with a UV index of 7.25, so protection is essential if you decide to walk along the shore. Given the poor visibility and choppy water, it is best to skip the beach today and wait for calmer, clearer weather.
