Porto Ferro: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 4, 2026

Summary
Full Forecast

This is a challenging day for a traditional beach outing at Porto Ferro, primarily due to the chilly water and choppy conditions. While the air temperature reaches a pleasant 17.5 °C and the skies are beautifully clear with abundant sunshine, the sea remains far too cold for swimming at 14.8 °C. Additionally, the moderate wave height makes the water quite restless, which is better suited for watching the surf than taking a dip. If you do head down to the sand, be mindful that the UV Index is 6.6, so wearing protection is essential to avoid sunburn during the brighter hours. It is a lovely day for a coastal walk or relaxing by the shore, but you should skip the swim.
