Saulkrasti: Weather Today

📅 Monday, April 20, 2026
Today is certainly not a day for a traditional beach outing, as the conditions remain far too cold for any water-based activities. While the sky is exceptionally clear and bright, providing plenty of sunshine, the air temperature reaching 11.2 °C is quite chilly, making it better suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than sunbathing. The sea is extremely cold at 4.8 °C and is definitely not suitable for swimming. You will encounter a noticeable breeze throughout the day, which will make the air feel even sharper. The waves are gentle, but overall, this is a day for a quick stroll in a warm jacket rather than relaxing on the sand.
