Playa Puerto Muelas: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, September 17, 2026
Today at Playa Puerto Muelas offers a rather mixed experience that is best suited for those who enjoy a brisk coastal atmosphere rather than a calm day of relaxing on the sand. With air temperatures reaching 27.2 °C and a sea temperature of 23.9 °C, the water remains pleasant for swimming, though the moderate wave height suggests you should be mindful of the water conditions. The sun will peek through the clouds quite often, so please keep in mind the UV Index is 7.55 and calls for sun protection. Be aware that the wind is notably strong today, creating a fair amount of movement across the beach. If you do not mind the breezy conditions, it can be a refreshing escape, but it may not be the most comfortable day for sunbathing.
