Today's Coastal Conditions

Today's conditions for this stretch of the Algarve coast.

The sea state is calm with waves at 0.48m, making it excellent for swimmers. The day is expected to be partly cloudy with a maximum temperature of 25°C and a minimum of 15°C. It will be a moderate day with winds from the SW, but currently, the wind is light at 4 km/h from NW.

The water temperature is 19.7°C, which is cool, so a spring suit or rashie is recommended for comfort. The wave conditions are ankle high, which is suitable for swimmers. The clear Atlantic water provides good visibility for divers and snorkelers.

For outdoor activities, the light wind of 4 km/h from NW is suitable for cycling and running. Surfers may find the ankle-high waves suitable for their sport. It is essential to use SPF 50 for protection against the high UV index, which is expected to peak at 7.2 today.
