Springs Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 17, 2026
Today at Springs Beach is not ideal for those hoping for a classic day by the water. You should expect light, persistent mist throughout the day which will keep things feeling damp and cool. The air temperature reaches 21.6 °C, but with strong, erratic winds kicking up, the beach will feel quite restless and chilly. The water temperature sits at 19.4 °C, which is too cold for a comfortable swim, and combined with active wave conditions, it is best to stay out of the water. While the clouds are minimal, the overall atmosphere remains grey and unsettled. If you still head to the shore, bring a windbreaker and prepare for conditions that are more suitable for a brisk walk than lounging on the sand.
