📅 Friday, May 1, 2026
Today is a mediocre day for a visit to Platja d'Alcanada, as the sky remains quite grey and the air feels rather crisp. With a maximum air temperature of 21.4 °C, it is certainly not a day for intense heat, and the constant cloud cover means you will miss out on direct sunshine. The breeze is noticeable and occasionally picks up, which might make lounging on the sand feel a bit chilly. Regarding the water, the sea temperature is 18.2 °C, which is far too cold for comfortable swimming. While the waves are relatively gentle, the overall conditions are better suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than a traditional beach day. Please keep your jackets handy, as the combination of wind and clouds will make it feel much cooler than the thermometer suggests.
